Syntax
X = WindowGetX(Window, Flags=0)Description
Retrieves the current horizontal (X) screen coordinate of the specified window in physical pixels. Flags can be used to specify whether to return the coordinate of the outer frame or the inner client area.
Parameters
Window
The handle of the ProGUI window whose X coordinate is to be retrieved.
Flags (optional)
A flag to specify which coordinate to return. Default is 0 (outer frame's top-left X coordinate).
#PG_Window_InnerCoordinate : Returns the X coordinate of the window's client area (top-left corner).Note: #PG_Window_OuterCoordinate is the default behavior (outer frame) and doesn't need to be specified.
Return Value
Returns the requested X screen coordinate as an Integer (physical pixels). Returns 0 or #False if the window handle is invalid.
Remarks
This function returns coordinates in physical screen pixels, not device-independent pixels (DIPs). This is useful for positioning the window using OS functions or relative to other screen elements.
Example
IncludeFile "ProGUI_PB.pbi"
StartProGUI()
MyWindow = CreateWindow(0, 0, 400, 300, "Window Position Info")
If MyWindow
WindowShow(MyWindow, #True, #PG_Window_ScreenCentered)
OuterX = WindowGetX(MyWindow)
InnerX = WindowGetX(MyWindow, #PG_Window_InnerCoordinate)
Debug "Outer Frame X (Pixels): " + Str(OuterX)
Debug "Client Area X (Pixels): " + Str(InnerX)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
