Microsoft Magnifier and Java Application

Hi Sri,

I am just beginning to run my application with Microsoft Magnifier, so I don't have too much to say yet but I did notice that if I maximize my JFrame then it correctly fills only the screen space not used by Microsoft Magnifier. Normally, however I start my application with frames that compute their dimensions from the screen parameters and these computations, as you observed, don't seem to take Microsoft Magnifier into account. More later, but in the mean time:

1) where did you find this?:

>>I am aware that I can set the following in the accessibility.properties file:

>>screen_magnifier_present=true

2) I observe a certain amount of flakiness even when running other Microsoft programs with Magnifier.

Regards,

Joe

Joe,

I have figured it out. I had to read the WIN32 API and then played around with JNI. I used C code and included <windows.h>

Here's some sample code:

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL ... (JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)

{

RECT rect;

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA,0,&rect,0);

printf("TOPCoordinate==: %d\n", rect.top);

printf("BOTTOMCoordinate==: %d\n", rect.bottom);

printf("LEFTCoordinate==: %d\n", rect.left);

printf("RIGHTCoordinate==: %d\n", rect.right);

return rect.top;

}

It is quite simple actually. That's about it.

Best Regards,

-Sri :)
