Function with dependency based on monitor profile

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to create a function that basically when executed acts as: if monitor profile 1 = true, then do ‘x’ action, if monitor profile 2 = true, then do ‘y’ action, if monitor profile 3 = true, then do ‘z’ action’. Basically, one function that depending on which monitor profile I am in, executes a certain command. For example, if current monitor profile = ‘1920’ then execute windows position profile entitled ‘1920x’, or if current monitor profile = ‘5760’ then with the same function, execute windows position profile entitled ‘5760’. Also is there any way to run another function, through this? For example, if current monitor profile = ‘1920’, then run “abc” custom function, or if current monitor profile = ‘5760’, then run ‘def’ custom function. Any input regarding this would be much appreciated, just thought of this as a way to cut down on hotkeys, instead of having like 3 or 4 depending on which monitor profile I am currently in, if it were possible to consolidate it all into one function with one hotkey that acts accordingly depending on which profile I am currently in.

or instead of having it based off of current monitor profile, does anyone know of a way to reference the primary display/monitor resolution somehow? so if primary display resolution = "1920x1080" do 'x' function, or if primary display resolution = "1440x1080" do 'y' function

You can do this with a Scripted Function. Here's some sample code to get you started:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        // Get the current monitor profile
        string currentMonitorProfile = BFS.DisplayFusion.GetCurrentMonitorProfile();
        
        if (currentMonitorProfile == "monitor profile 1")
        {
            BFS.DisplayFusion.LoadWindowPositionProfile("window position profile 1");
            BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("custom function 1");
        }
        else if (currentMonitorProfile == "monitor profile 2")
        {
            BFS.DisplayFusion.LoadWindowPositionProfile("window position profile 2");
            BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("custom function 1");
        }
        else if (currentMonitorProfile == "monitor profile 3")
        {
            BFS.DisplayFusion.LoadWindowPositionProfile("window position profile 3");
            BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("custom function 1");
        }
    }
}

Hope that helps!

Hello Keith, thank you for the reply, I just tried the code, and I get an error when trying to specify the current monitor profile, "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'", any idea on how to fix this possibly? thanks again tremendously.

turns out it needed 2 equal signs like this to work, "(currentMonitorProfile == "1920")".

thank again! works great.

Ah yep! I made a rookie mistake! I've updated my post with that change as well. Glad to hear it worked
