Get tab position and size

[David Marcus]

I can get the position and size of a TCC window via %@winpos[=%_pid] and %@winsize[=%_pid]. Is there a way to get the position and size of a tab in Take Command?

TCC 21.00.39 x64 Windows 10 [Version 10.0.15063]

Are you talking about the tab itself, or the window below the tab?

Why do you need that? I would be reluctant to make that info available in TCC, since nobody but TCMD should ever be writing to a tab window.

I meant the window below the tab. I don't want to write to the window. I want to pop up my editor over the window. That's the main feature of LIST that I use: it runs in the existing window rather than opening in a random location. The following btm file works reasonably well for a TCC console window, but not when run in a tab.

*on errormsg cancel
*setlocal
*unalias *
set pos=%@winpos[=%_pid]
set size=%@winsize[=%_pid]
set cols=%@max[10,%@eval[(%@word[1,%size] \ 7) - 6]]
set lines=%@max[10,%@eval[(%@word[0,%size] \ 11) - 6]]
"%@shfolder[42]\Eps13\bin\epsilon.exe" -p0 -ka73 -vx%@word[1,%pos] -vy%@word[0,%pos] -vc%cols -vl%lines %$

Or, maybe this suggestion will be in the next version: https://jpsoft.com/forums/threads/add-view-option-to-open-in-same-position-as-current-window.8191/

VIEW /W already does that.

VIEW /W already does that.

That doesn't work for a stand-alone console window.

I'm not going to give up focus-follows-mouse just to use VIEW /W: https://jpsoft.com/forums/threads/view-in-tab-and-focus-follows-mouse.3188/

The OP was asking about TCMD tab windows.
