center a window of a .bat file in the center of a screen without knowing the size of the screen?

[PAT06]

Hi,

I'm looking for an AutoHotkey script to center a window from a .bat file in the center of a screen without knowing the screen size?
If possible integrate it into the .bat
I can not find...

Does anyone have this?!

Thanks

Code: Select all

cmd_win_max() {
    Hwnd := WinExist("ahk_exe cmd.exe")
    ;                 ^^^^^^^^^^ use "WindowSpy.ahk" get it
    if (Hwnd == 0x0) {
        Return
    }

    aHwnd := "ahk_id " Hwnd
    WinActivate, %aHwnd%
    WinMaximize, %aHwnd%
    WinMove, %aHwnd%, , A_ScreenWidth / 2 , A_ScreenHeight / 2 ; , W, H
}

a screen without knowing the scree?

just use https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Variables.htm#Screen
A_ScreenHeight and A_ScreenWidth

center a window from a .bat file

Specifically?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean to adjust the windows of those files after using .bat to get a bunch of files and open them?

Hi,

I would like to launch my "Install.bat" file and have it centered on the main monitor which does not always have the same size

Thanks

You can run the script that is posted.

Code: Select all

Run, % "D:\Install.bat"
cmd_win_max()
MsgBox, % "end"


cmd_win_max() {
    WinWait, % "ahk_exe cmd.exe",, 3 ; 3 sec
    if ErrorLevel
    {
        MsgBox, % "WinWait timed out"
        return
    }

    WinGetPos, ,, w, h
    WinRestore
    WinMove, (A_ScreenWidth  - w) / 2, (A_ScreenHeight - h) / 2
}

Hi,

Thanks, this one works

Code: Select all

Run, % "Install.bat"
cmd_win_max()
MsgBox, % "end"


cmd_win_max() {
    WinWait, % "ahk_exe cmd.exe",, 3 ; 3 sec
    if ErrorLevel
    {
        MsgBox, % "WinWait timed out"
        return
    }

    WinGetPos, ,, w, h
    WinRestore
    WinMove, (A_ScreenWidth  - w) / 2, (A_ScreenHeight - h) / 2
}

1st question :
For my information, what is it for (in red)
WinWait, % "ahk_exe cmd.exe",, 3 ; 3 sec

2nd question:
Is it normal for the bat window to randomly launch a shot to the right, a shot to the left very quickly and then center itself?

1. 1st question :
Wait up to 3 seconds. If cmd.exe does not appear within 3 seconds, I will think there is something wrong and the user needs to confirm it. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/lib/WinWait.htm

2. 2nd question:
On my computer, it .just moved the window from point A to the middle.
