autoit to start verve on 2nd monitor
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 4:36 pmHere's a little autoit script to start verve on the secondary display with a 4000x3820 canvas:
1. Google autoit and download the zip
2. Google & grab mousepos also
3. fire up sciTE (included with autoit), copy-paste the above code and create an executable (F7) in verve's folder
You might need to adapt the code for different screens (hence mousepos) and slower machines (increase sleep steps)

The script lines between full screen and exit, which are unnecessary (and unreliable
), can be omitted.
Better to open some ready made empty canvas set to the resolution desired.
- Code:
Run("verve_painter.exe")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:BlitzMax GLGraphics]")
WinMove ("[CLASS:BlitzMax GLGraphics]", "", 2000, 100) ; if 1st screen width = ~1920px
MouseMove (2880,720) ; 2880 = 1600 (1st screen) + 1280 (half of 2nd screen)
Send ("{F3}") ; go full screen
Send ("^{NUMPADSUB}") ; zoom out (ctrl+-)
Sleep (100) ; wait 100 miliseconds
Send ("+{F2}") ; crop mode (shift+F2)
MouseDown ("")
Sleep (100)
MouseMove (2020,180) ; move crop area to top left
MouseUp ("")
MouseMove (2420,360) ; bottom right handle of crop area
Sleep (100)
MouseDown ("")
Sleep (100)
MouseMove (3780,1416) ; move handle to bottom right, to get a 4000x2832 crop
MouseUp ("")
Sleep (100)
MouseMove (3800,1416)
Sleep (100)
MouseClick ("") ; clic outside crop to accept it
Exit
