I have written an ASOC project which when displayed on my 27" iMac fits exactly but when viewed on my MacBook some of the display is lost. Is there a way to automatically correct display size depending on screen size. Any guidance would be gratefully received.
use framework "AppKit"
use AppleScript version "2.4"
use scripting additions
set e to current application'sNSScreen'smainScreen()'s frame as record
set H to height of e's|size|
set W to width of e's|size|
logH
logW
Many thanks for quick reply but cannot get this to work and not sure where to place the code. When I place it at the beginning (before applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)) it compiles but has no effect on display. If I add the code within the processing it fails to compile with the error Can’t get |size| of {«class form»:«constant ****usrp», «class want»:property, «class seld»:"frame", from:«class ocid» id «data
Sorry to be dim but as you can tell ApplescriptObjC is not my strong point!
I would put the code in the applicationDidFinishLaunching handler.
Perhaps the following, to set the window to the current screensize.
set screenFrame to current application'sNSScreen'smainScreen()'s frame
set win to current application'sNSWindow'salloc()'s initWithContentRect:screenFramestyleMask:3 backing:(current application'sNSBackingStoreBuffered) defer:false
tell win
its setDelegate:(me)
its setBackgroundColor:(current application'sNSColor'swhiteColor)
its setCollectionBehavior:(current application'sNSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary)
its toggleFullScreen: (me)
its setReleasedWhenClosed:true
end tell
It is demonstrating on your MacBook the ability to get the screen size, and open an application window set to those MacBook screen size dimensions. If you bump your mouse against the top of the Window, the close button will appear.
Found the close button at the top of the blank window but when I close that window it then displays the required window but cropped as before. Looks like I am going to have to have two versions each with their own screen size determined through the Size Inspector. I cannot believe that this a problem unique to me, surely the same project can run on different device screen sizes and detect those screen sizes, thanks for your help anyway.
Thanks for update, unfortunately when I run this on my MacBook all I get is a blank white screen, on the iMac it's OK.
