GetClientDimensions

[Dicaste]

Hi;

I can't use "GetClientDimensions" function. Not working anymore.

 

program New;

var
w, h: Integer;

begin
GetClientDimensions(w, h);
end.

Not working. Error Message: "Unknown identifier 'GetClientDimensions' "

 

Is this function deleted or changed ? What i need to use it ?

My version is "SCAR Divi 3.37 RC".

Thanks.

Here:

 

procedure GetClientDimensions(var cWidth, cHeight: Integer);
var
 wc: TSCARWindowClient;
 b: TBox;
begin
 wc := TSCARWindowClient(GetClient);
 wc.Update;               
 b := wc.ImageArea;       
 cWidth := ((b.X2 - b.X1) + 1);
 cHeight := ((b.Y2 - b.Y1) + 1);                
end;

var
 w, h: Integer;

begin
 ClearDebug;
 GetClientDimensions(w, h);
 WriteLn(IntToStr(w) + 'x' + IntToStr(h));
end.

[scar]procedure GetClientDimensions(var cWidth, cHeight: Integer);

var

c: TSCARClient;

begin

c := GetClient;

c.Update;

GetBoxSize(c.ImageArea, cWidth, cHeight);

end;[/scar]

What does the Update procedure do exactly? e.g. Client.Update;

 

And why should we call it before all other client functions?..?..?

Updates the client data to current state.

 

Lets say you have a client.. You'll resize it, but SCAR would still use the old data (before resizing), if you don't use Client.Update;.
