Thanks for all the responses, last night I found the solution I'm looking for
:-)
Here's a way of getting the monitor geometry for Win32 multi displays:
<code>
foreach my $display (Gtk2::Gdk::DisplayManager->get->list_displays) {
print "display name [", $display->get_name, "] num screens [",
$display->get_n_screens, "]";
my $defaultScreen = $display->get_default_screen;
print "\tscreen num monitors [", $defaultScreen->get_n_monitors, "]\n";
for(my $monitorNumber = 0; $monitorNumber <
$defaultScreen->get_n_monitors; $monitorNumber++) {
my $monitorGeometry =
$defaultScreen->get_monitor_geometry($monitorNumber);
print "\t\tmonitorNumber [$monitorNumber] geometry h [",
$monitorGeometry->height, "] w [", $monitorGeometry->width, "] x [",
$monitorGeometry->x, "] y [", $monitorGeometry->y, "]\n";
}
}
</code>
I suppose the '->list_displays' loop is unnecessary for Win32, but this way it
can be made to work for both Linux and Win32, although a loop is required for
the screens under Linux.
Thanks
Mike
