Hi, I purchased DisplayFusion on steam and I'm very happy with it, thanks for that great software!
However I have a very annoying problem with windows opened within a particular application (Questrade IQ Edge).
I can save thoses windows positions into position profiles and it works fine and I can load it back.
I use splitted monitor and I try to move one of those window into a splitted screen, look like it doesnt detect it and I can't have it to maximize into that split. It seems to ignore completly the splitted screen.
However, when I do it with any other application, or the 'main parent window' of the application, it works fine.
Any idea how I could fix it?
Best Regards
Do those windows go full screen when maximized?

Hi Keith,
yes the go full screen (full monitor). They don't seems to work with the splitted screen.

Hi Keith, I think there is a misunderstanding.
The windows are resizable, and I can set them fullscreen using the full screen icon.
I can also size their positions and size in a 'windows positions profile' and it work fine.
The problem is that these windows do not care about the splitted monitor.
They act as it it wasn't splitted at all.
If move them around, I should be able to restrain them to a splitted monitor part.
If I hit the fullscreen icon, it goes full screen (full monitor), ignoring the monitor is splitted.
All other apps I tested works fine I can move them in splitted part of the monitor I want.
Best Regards

Thanks for your help!

Hi Keith,
I maximized a questrade child window at 14:53 on monitor #4 which is splitted. It goes full screen (full monitor). It is not detecting split when moving the window around the monitor (other apps does)
Not sure if that help, but it is being saved as having a windows class of "Qt5QWindowToolSaveBits" in windows postion profiles.
Here is the file
Thanks again!

Thanks! It seems like the window just isn't getting hooked by DisplayFusion. Does it run under a different user account by any chance?

Hi Keith,
no they it runs on my user account as other apps.
Also, noticed the displayfusion tools icons ( move window to next monitor, Maximize window) do not appear in the top bar of the window.
Thanks!

My only other guess here is that it runs sandboxed, preventing it from being hooked. Do you have a support contact for that app that you can ask if it runs sandboxed?

I will give them a call, not sure I will get an answer though.
If it would be sandboxed, would I be able to save windows positions and sizes in "position profiles" for that app? I'm able to do that and use profiles to move windows around.
Best Regards

I maximized the window at at around 14:12:19.
Here is the log file attached.
Would it help if I send you a demo account so you can try it yourself?
Best Regards

Oh that's great! I'll set that up on Monday and give it a test to see what I can find out, thanks!
Thanks! We've had a chance to do some testing here and this app doesn't send a Windows message when it's maximizing, so the DisplayFusion hooks don't know it's maximizing and that it should be resized.
I'm going to check in with our developers to see if there might be any possible workarounds.
Ok, we may have a workaround for this. We'll give it a try and let you know how it goes. It will require some code changes, so it may be a few weeks.

Hi, I updated to 9.7 beta 5.
The issue is still the same, I actually do not see any change at all.
Is there a setting I have to change or something?
Thanks!
Nope, the Questrade window should now maximize to the splits when you click the maximize button. Is it the split maximizing that's still not working, or the Window Position Profiles?

Hi Keith,
using a windows position profile always worked. I can save positions and restore.
The questrade child windows maximize to full monitor and not to split. When moving the windows around it doesnt detect at all that there is splits.
Please see video:

Thanks!
Ok, I'll need to do some further testing on this here. I'll keep you posted when I've had a chance and what I find out!

Hi Keith,
installed the new beta version. No changes, it doesnt work, it does the same.
Best Regards
Mathieu
Are you testing by dragging the Questrade window, or by clicking the maximize button on the window?
Mathieu Levesque35385

Hi Keith,
I tried again and what I replied is not completly true.
The 'main' window works when dragging but not the maximize button.
However, the child windows (when you detach them from the main window, using the small icon next to fullscreen) do not work on drag or maximize.
It is the child windows I would like to work, as the main window is always full screen on my #1 monitor.
Let me know if you need a new trial account as it may expires sometimes.
Again, thanks for the help!
Best Regards
Strange! It seems to be working for me. Maybe I'm testing it wrong? I've attached a video, let me know what you think.

Found the problem.. just tried with the 'demo'/practice app and it is working, but not in the 'real' one, which look exactly the same but there obvioulsy something different. Could it be a class name or something?
Best Regards
Oh wow, that's interesting! I will check with our devs to see how we identify those child windows and see what info I can grab from you.
It looks like it may just be due to a different EXE name. Could you send me the full path the EXE for the live Questrade app?
Thanks!

Hi Keith,
Great if it is that simple!
here it is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Questrade IQ Edge\QuestradeIQEdge.exe"

Hi Keith, that does work! Thanks a bunch!
Will it eventually work with drag&drop? That would just be perfect!

Hi Keith, I have installed latest beta (#15), the drag&drop functionnality for IQEdge no longer works.
The last version I had installed was #10, so I had to reinstall it in order for the drag&drop to works again.
Will it be back in the next beta?
Best Regards
Mathieu
Strange! We didn't intentionally remove that functionality. Let me check in with our developrs on this.
Thanks!
We just posted Beta 17 today, could you try updating to that and let me know if it's still broken there as well?
Actually don't worry about testing it, I was able to test it here and can confirm that it's not working for the child windows for some reason. We'll see what we can do!
We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.
Thanks!
