Question: Move window to next monitor

I'm using a keyboard shortcut to move the active window to the next monitor.
I was wondering if it's possible to also move the mouse cursor to the active window new location ?

Thanks

In "Functions" select "Add scripted"
Past this code to editor
Set name of script
Set "Key Combination" to run
Use it

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        // Get focused window handle
        var wHandle = BFS.Window.GetFocusedWindow();
        
        // Move window to next monitor
        BFS.Window.MoveToNextMonitor(wHandle);
        
        // Get window bounds
        var wBounds = BFS.Window.GetBounds(wHandle);
        
        // Move mouse to center of window
        BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(wBounds.Width/2 + wBounds.X, wBounds.Height/2 + wBounds.Y);
    }
}

How could I go about moving the mouse automatically if clicking a titlebar button to move the window to a different monitor? I cannot see how to attach this C# script to the existing button.

When you select a script from the function list, click "Toggle TitleBar Button", select the appropriate icon and apply. Now button will appear in the title bar and will be tied to the script. If you want to move mouse to the title rather than the center of the window, change

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(wBounds.Width/2 + wBounds.X, wBounds.Height/2 + wBounds.Y);

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(wBounds.Width/2 + wBounds.X, wBounds.Y + 15);

I should probably have created a new thread for this. Thanks for the tip attaching the script to a button. The script is close to what I'm after, except I want to choose the monitor to move the window to. Looking at a few of the downloadable scripts I've updated the script to:

Code
Copy
Select All

var wHandle = BFS.Window.GetFocusedWindow();
BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("Move Window to Different Monitor (shows monitor selector)");
var wBounds = BFS.Window.GetBounds(wHandle);
BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(wBounds.X, wBounds.Y);

However, this does not move the mouse cursor at all once the window has moved to the monitor I select in the popup. The mouse remains at the position the monitor selector was at when I clicked it.

X and Y are the coordinates of the beginning of the window. i.e. the edge of the top and left side.

Now with the monitor selector.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        var monID = BFS.Monitor.ShowMonitorSelector();
        BFS.Window.MoveToMonitor(monID, windowHandle);
        var wBounds = BFS.Window.GetBounds(windowHandle);
        BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(wBounds.Width / 2 + wBounds.X, wBounds.Y + 15);
    }
}

Thanks, that works once I re-ordered the lines to select the monitor first before moving the mouse.

Of course it is. First, move to monitor and then define the bounds.
Oh. Where is my attentiveness? :'(
