Guide: HowTo use HotKeyNet for boxing

[olipcs]

In the steps before you have learned how to setup keybroadcasting and starting the WoWs.
Know we want to position and resize the windows.

This can be done with two commands:

• <SendWin> / <SendWinM> : To specify which window to resize/position
• <SetWinRect x y width heigh> : positions the Window at x,y (x horizontal position, y vertical position)and resizes it to width * heigth (width horizontal size, height vertical size)

So to position the window named 'WoW1' at x=200, y=300 withe the resolution of 640x480 an the local pc you would use the follwoing comand-sequence:

<SendWin WoW1>
 <SetWinRect 200 300 640 480>

derived from this example you can build a command for 5 boxing, by defining five conectional regions and position windows accordingly.
For example for a system using 2 monitos both with a 1280x1024 resolution, and using the first monitor for the 'main' screen, the second monitor for the other four windows, using resolutions of 640x512 for them would look like:

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// SUBROUTINE TO Position Windows for 5 boxing.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Command ResizeAndPosition>
   <SendPC Local>
      <SendWinM %1%>
               <SetWinRect 0 0 1280 1024>              
      <SendWinM %2%>
             <SetWinRect 1280 0 640 512>  
        <SendWinM %3%>
            <SetWinRect 1280 512 640 512>     
        <SendWinM %4%>
            <SetWinRect 1920 0 640 512>     
         <SendWinM %5%>
             <SetWinRect 1920 512 640 512>

of course you would have to customize the positions / sizes of the windows as you need them!

This is amazing guidance!!! Thank you.

One question. I am building the PiP for a 4-box on an ultra-wide monitor with 3440x1440 resolution. I have all the windows set (following your template), but the main window is cutting off (showing thru to the desktop on the lower 1/5 and right side 1/5th) of the screen. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Edit: Adding the script for reference
//-----------------------------------------------------------
// SUBROUTINE TO Position Windows for 4 boxing.
// You need to configure the positions as you like
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Command ResizeAndPosition>
<SendPC Local>
<SendWinM %1%>
<SetWinRect 0 0 2290 1400>
<SendWinM %2%>
<SetWinRect 2290 0 1145 466>
<SendWinM %3%>
<SetWinRect 2290 467 1145 466>
<SendWinM %4%>
<SetWinRect 2290 934 1145 466>
