Monitoring whether a window size changes in js
Hi, is there a callback mechanism for this so that it's possible to tell when windows have been resized, closes etc?
thx Lee
you need to create a repeating task.
// 11oLsen, report changed window size
outlets = 2;
var nowsize;
var lastsize;
var pollTsk = new Task(getsize, this);
function on()
{
lastsize = -1;
pollTsk.interval = 10; //set interval of polling in ms
pollTsk.repeat();
}
function off()
{
pollTsk.cancel();
}
function getsize()
{
nowsize = this.patcher.wind.size;
if (nowsize[0] != lastsize[0] || nowsize[1] != lastsize[1]) {
//post(lastsize);
//post(nowsize);
outlet(1,nowsize[1]);
outlet(0,nowsize[0]);
lastsize = nowsize;
}
}btw: there's a windowwatcher external in the sdk ready to compile, don't ask me why they don't add this to the standard object set..
excellent, thanks for the help :)
Thanks a lot 11olsen !
I'm digging up this thread, I'm beginning with javascript and I'm not sure how I can get the all the coords of the window instead of the size only... Can you help me please ?
You use wind.rect instead of size. I can post an example when I'm home..
Thanks a lot !
I have 2 questions if you don't mind answering them. It might sound stupid but this will probably help me understand better.
var pollTsk = new Task(getloc, this);
// Where I can find documentation to know that's getloc I need to put here?..function msg_int(s)
// What does this s correspond to ?Oh ! I actually have 3 questions :)
Can you explain me why the values I get using "window getsize" message to a thispatcher object are different ?

getloc is a reference to the function that's defined later in the file. Look at the Task object link in the above and it's examples.
In msg_int(s), the s is just the local variable name for the number (an integer). In this case it's getting either 1 or 0 from the toggle box outside the [js window_loc_watch.js]. FWIW I probably would've named that variable "enable_polling" or "polling_bool" or something like that to be more descriptive.
Thanks a lot Tyler, very clear, understood !
Do you know why I don't have the same values using "window getsize" message to [thispatcher] ?
Thanks Tyler for helping out.
"wind.location" includes the toolbars "window getsize" does not and reports x/y point of the bottom-right corner instead of height/width. You could probably build the same js around "this.patcher.getattr('rect')" which gives you the same coords like [thispatcher] but value 3 and 4 are height/width. You see there's a little inconsistency with the different methods to get window location in Max.
@ 11Olsen thanks for your sample code 10 years ago (!) and your recent update :)
Thanks guys ! You are real gifts for this community ;)
