Is there access to Sysget?

[macevhicz]

AutoKeyKey has a comment "SysGet"
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SysGet.htm

which facilitates working with monitor (resolution, size, etc). I cannot find Sysget within AutoHotKey.py... Is it available, and if so, how?

Hello @macevhicz, I didn't get to implement the proper API for SysGet. However, you should be able to access it via ahk.flow.ahk_call:

from ahk.flow import ahk_call
ahk_call("SysGet", "Monitor")

It calls the following _SysGet function:

AutoHotkey.py/ahkpy/Lib/Commands.ahk

Lines 476 to 485 in 17ecfbc

	_SysGet(Subcommand,Param2="") {
	SysGet v, %Subcommand%, %Param2%
	if (Subcommand == "Monitor") {
	return {Left: vLeft, Top: vTop, Right: vRight, Bottom: vBottom}
	} else if (Subcommand == "MonitorName") {
	return v
	} else {
	return v+0
	}
	}

Ahh, that'll work. Thank you very much! Another quick question... I have a script to move the cursor to the center of my chosen monitor in a multiple monitor setup. ```# Send cursor to center of specified monitor def sendCursorToCenter(monNum): numMon = ahk_call("SysGet", "MonitorCount") print ("numMon: " + str(numMon)) # Bail if the specified monitor doesn't exist. if monNum > numMon: return info = ahk_call("SysGet", "Monitor", monNum) infoStr = "({}, {}) ({}, {})".format(info["Left"], info["Top"], info["Right"], info["Bottom"]) print ("\n(x1, y1) (x2, y2): " + infoStr) x = (info["Left"] + info["Right"]) / 2 y = (info["Top"] + info["Bottom"]) / 2 print ("Center Point (x, y): " + str((x, y))) ahkpy.mouse_move(x, y, relative_to="screen") checkPos = ahkpy.get_mouse_pos(relative_to='screen') print ("checkMousePos: " + str(checkPos)) ahkpy.hotkey("#Numpad1", sendCursorToCenter, 1) ahkpy.hotkey("#Numpad2", sendCursorToCenter, 2) ahkpy.hotkey("#Numpad3", sendCursorToCenter, 3)``` It determines the center point correctly, and performs `mouse_move`, but the cursor goes to the wrong position, and a check of the cursor position confirms it went to the wrong point. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Unfortunately, I haven't worked the multi-monitor setups, but there's this note in the original AHK docs:

The following is an alternate way to move the mouse cursor that may work better in certain multi-monitor configurations:

DllCall("SetCursorPos", "int", 100, "int", 400)  ; The first number is the X-coordinate and the second is the Y (relative > to the screen).

You could do the call with ctypes like this:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.user32.SetCursorPos(x, y)

Yes, that works. Thanks very much for your help! And thanks for this package. I love AHK, but find its interface somewhat cumbersome. It's much nicer to be able to write AHK in python! Thanks!
