Detecting the size of the window automatically outside OnRender? Desktop size?

[MikeHartParticipant]

Is there an event that is called before first OnRender event is called?

The reason I ask is that I would like to be able to detect the size of the window once before the first OnRender event is called.

And is there a way to detect the size of the desktop in mojo?

Store a reference to the AppInstance object and read the DesktopSize property:

Monkey

[crayon-5cba8303dea18379690976 inline="true" ] Function Main() Local app := New AppInstance Print app.DesktopSize.X + ", " + app.DesktopSize.Y New MyWindow App.Run() End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

[crayon-5cba8303dea18379690976 inline="true" ] Function Main()   Local app := New AppInstance Print app.DesktopSize.X + ", " + app.DesktopSize.Y New MyWindow App.Run() End

Though in my case the returned result is incorrect. I’m running my desktop at 4k (3840×2160) yet the DesktopSize property returns 2560×1440. Not sure what’s going on there…

You don’t need to use a reference to your app (unless you are subclassing) as the global App variable will suffice (as in App.Run() and App.DesktopSize).

I just noticed that global App variable myself. Was going to correct myself but you beat me to it.

Thanks guys. Now all i need is to detect the size of the window outside OnRender.
