I am looking for input from people who are using `the effective rect of stack` and the values it reports on Windows. I have some code that uses the effective rect of a group to determine if the stack is still on the screen after the user moves the stack or when restoring window positions when an app relaunches.
On Windows 10 I just noticed that `the effective rect of stack` includes the drop shadow that appears along the left, bottom, and right of a window on Windows 10. For my use case including the shadows in the `effective rect of stack` serves no value. I'm wondering if someone has a use case where it is helpful to have the drop shadow included in `the effective rect`? Here is how you can check behavior if you are interested: EXPECTED RESULT: The effective rect of a stack on Windows would return the rect of the stack that includes stack borders and title bar. OBSERVED RESULT: The effective rect includes the drop shadow of the window in the rect. RECIPE: 1. Create a new stack 2. Set the topleft of the stack to 0,0 3. `put the effective rect of this stack`. The left of the rect will be a negative value. 4. `set the effective topleft of this stack to 0,0`. The left of the stack will be offset by the negative value from (3). -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps www.screensteps.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
