winapi - How do I get the dimensions (RECT) of all the screens in win32 API? -

-

i'm writing application testing team. application lets take screenshot of part of screen (and uploads testing team server comments).

taking screenshot involves selecting region on screen take screenshot of. i'm creating semi-transparent window , overlaying on entire screen. i'm using getdesktopwindow() , getwindowrect() dimensions of screen doesn't work in multi-screen environments.

how overlay window on possible screens?

the screen configurations can pretty exotic, such as:

     [lcd] [lcd][lcd][lcd]

(4 lcd screens - 1 @ top, 3 @ bottom)

or

[lcd]     [lcd] [lcd][lcd][lcd] [lcd]     [lcd]

(7 lcd screens - 3 on right, 3 on left, 1 in middle).

etc.

does know how overlay 1 window screens? wonder dimensions in 1st exotic example, when there no screen on top-row left , right?

perhaps should creating 1 overlay window per lcd screen?

any ideas?

you can use enumdisplaymonitors function this. here's little class automatically builds vector of monitors in system, union of them all.

struct monitorrects {     std::vector<rect>   rcmonitors;     rect                rccombined;      static bool callback monitorenum(hmonitor hmon,hdc hdc,lprect lprcmonitor,lparam pdata)     {         monitorrects* pthis = reinterpret_cast<monitorrects*>(pdata);         pthis->rcmonitors.push_back(*lprcmonitor);         unionrect(&pthis->rccombined, &pthis->rccombined, lprcmonitor);         return true;     }      monitorrects()     {         setrectempty(&rccombined);         enumdisplaymonitors(0, 0, monitorenum, (lparam)this);     } };

if create 1 big window using rccombined rectangle that, overlay screens , "missing" bits clipped out automatically system.

i've plotted data points , fitted exponential curve between them using 'fit' in matlab. problem fit-function got fitted line wanted plot, markers on top of regular markers. solved problem plotting wanted markers on top of unwanted couldn't seen. problem. when want show legends dots in there. how can remove markers legend without removing fitted line since both of them hidden inside fit-function? can stop 'fit' plotting unwanted markers? so, want remove blue dot called 'hoff' in picture below. you can leave out legend-entries manually leaving out handles of lines, dont want in legend. try this: %if plot something, want showing in legend, save handle: h_line = plot(x,y) %you dont want show line? dont anything, plot it: plot(mymarker) %then set legend-> can add text legend-entries %a cell-array containing strings want show up: legend([h_line another_line],{'text1' 'text2'}) with example (see comments) came solution: ...

java - Why does my date parsing return a weird date? -

here code using: string string = "08/07/2013".replace('/', '-'); date date = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd").parse(string); why date return: "wen jan 3 00:00:00 est 14"? not @ date format told use. edit: need format because database using requires format. the format use parse date string, not match it. using yyyy 08 . use following format: new simpledateformat("dd-mm-yyyy") and why @ replacing / - ? can build pattern original string only: string string = "08/07/2013" date date = new simpledateformat("dd/mm/yyyy").parse(string); and if want date string in yyyy-mm-dd format, can format date using dateformat#format(date) method: string formatteddate = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd").format(date); see also: change date format in java string simpledateformat java doc
