[SOLVED] Setting Window size in code

[joseph.howell]

Hi, is it possible to set window size through code?

 

This forum thread indicates that we should use App::setVideoMode

 

https://developer.unigine.com/forum/topic/3550-how-to-manipulate-app-window-size/?hl=window+size#entry18743

 

But that causes a crash, as indicated by this thread:

 

https://developer.unigine.com/forum/topic/2181-solved-set-video-mode-fatal-error/?hl=setVideoMode#entry11925

 

The second thread indicates we should do this through the console.

 

However, I've used video_height, video_width, and video_mode console commands, and none of them do anything.

 

In the attached screen capture, you can see me trying out different modes, and yet the screen is still 1600x900.

 

 

Help, please?

Ok, I see I need to execute the video_restart command after any of those other commands.  But is there a way I can just set the initial video resolution without having to restart?

Hello Joseph
You can set custom videomode with console commands.
video_mode must be established to "-1" (see documentation - https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.2/code/command_linein "Video settings chapter")
Also, set parameter "video_resizable" to "off"
For example, your console command could be next:
video_mode -1 && video_resizable 0 && video_width 300 && video_height 300 && video_restart (see attached screenshot)

What about methods App:: setVideoMode / restoreVideoMode:
* if you want change video-mode then you can't use it ,
* if you make your custom App (using inheritance of AppClass) then you can override this methods - we will add notices in our documentation

Sorry for inconvenience caused.

I do want the window to be resizable though still.

Using the console commands just doesn't work very well for me.  I mean, I can get the window to resize, but I have to restart the window, which isn't ideal.  However, I discovered the command-line parameters for setting the video mode, and that seems to work just fine for me.

 

Thanks
