I would be thankfull for any help!

I think the title says it all : I'm working on a widget that auto run when the pc boots, and I really need to be able to control where it's gonna pop ( and why not if you guys now, if possible to lock it in place ).

After some research on google I found the " frame.setLocation(x,y) " command but it doesn't seem to work. Do I need a specific library loaded before using this ?

Thanks anyone for help =)

I cant seem to get this .setLocation() to work. .setTitle() works just fine btw. I tried surface.setLocation() as well as frame.setLocation(). Either doesn't work. Could it be that its a specific issue with Eclipse somehow? Here's some code:

public static boolean firstTimeDraw = true;
//...
public void draw() {
    if (firstTimeDraw) {
        frame.setLocation(990, 512);
        firstTimeDraw = false;
    }
}
//...

Is there a way I can make it so when sketch is closed it does not kill off my entire program and just closes the sketch window?

Thanks.

Following the "frame" example from the CP5 library I tried to implement two windows in my Eclipse project. I've managed to get it running but three out of four times I get the following error message which I believe is being caused by this line but I may be wrong.

p.runSketch(new String[] { this.getClass().getName() }, this);

It also gives me this message but I doubt it has anything to do with the error.

The static method runSketch(String[], PApplet) from the type PApplet should be accessed in a static way

Thanks in advance :) Charles

Ps: The sketch runs fine in processing just not in Eclipse

Processing 2:

void init() {
    frame.removeNotify();
    frame.setUndecorated(true);
    frame.addNotify();
    super.init();
}

Processing 3:

void settings() {
    fullScreen();
}
void setup() {
    surface.setSize(500,500);
}

Hope this helps!

I always have an external monitor attached, and I consistently run sketches on both my main and external monitor, often time in present mode. Is there a way to, in code, tell which monitor to run the sketch on, rather than having to tediously change it in the settings each time?

I know you can do frame.setLocation(x,y), but is that the only way to define where the window ends up? What does the setting in preferences actually do behind the scenes, and can I access that in code?

void setup(){
size(830, 650 );

}



void draw(){
background(0,0,255);

}

void mousePressed(){
exit();

}

int window = 1;

void keyPressed() {


  if (key=='f') {
    if (window==1) {

      // to make a frame not displayable, you can
      // use frame.removeNotify()
     frame.removeNotify();
      frame.setUndecorated(true);

      // addNotify, here i am not sure if you have 
      // to add notify again.  
      frame.addNotify();
      super.init();
      frame.setLocation(0, 0);
      size(830, 650);

      window=2;

    } else if(window ==2) {

      // to make a frame not displayable, you can
      // use frame.removeNotify()
      frame.removeNotify();
      frame.setUndecorated(false);
      // addNotify, here i am not sure if you have 
      // to add notify again.  
      frame.addNotify();
      super.init();
      size(500,500);
      window=1;
    }
  }
}

if so how ?
