Ignition

Hi there,

I have multiple monitors and I need to run an edge application at specific monitor coordinate. Is that possible? If so, could you help out? Thanks,

fwiw, (assuming by "edge application" you mean a Vision Client) I don't think this is possible to achieve from within the Ignition software.

I think you'll need to accomplish this somehow externally, with other software or features of whatever OS you are deployed on.

KDE for example has a "window rules" engine you could use to accomplish this.

It's possible, but will require scripting to do so. Search on here for vision multiple monitors and I believe someone else shared some scripts to automatically tile windows/desktops on a larger monitor, but once I get a chance, I can try to share my script that you can re-work to do what you want.

If linux, I would call wmctrl from system.util.execute to force the location.

You can also call it from java's ProcessBuilder if you want to receive and process detailed information about windows on the desktop.

Thanks Gents, will dig in further and see if there is a script has been shared to achieve that. The OS is Windows.

Michael Flagler, could you share your script as might be helpful for my app please? Appreciate,

Thanks All.
