All,

My program uses a smaller display than the machine's screen size. By placing a marker on the computer screen it appears the program starts at the same screen upper LH coordinates regardless of what size display the program is using. The problem is if the program alters the display to a larger size display, say 1600x900, a portion of the program is off computer screen.

I write to the buffer then use

al_draw_scaled_bitmap(buffer, 0, 0, nBufferWD, nBufferHT, 0, 0, nDispWD, nDispHT, 0);

After this I flip the display.

I guess essentially I'm asking is there a way of having the program window start in a given location on the screen.

Thanks.

A5 going by the function used.

You can upload pics. However, weird. you must upload pics. save post to establish correct links. Then re-edit pics to get correct urls.
Edit: maybe not. Doesn't seem to work.

void al_set_window_position(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, int x, int y);
bool al_set_window_constraints(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, int min_w, int min_h, int max_w, int max_h);
void al_apply_window_constraints(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, bool onoff);

These are not guaranteed, but will attempt

Compiler shouldn't matter. Default is center of screen when starting app.

Thanks guys. I had luck with the

al_set_window_position(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, int x, int y);

command. I appreciate the help.
