Get ImageViewerAddOn Monitor And Position

I need to develop a plugin that can display overlay only on specific Monitor and position, is there a way to get this information from ClientControl.NewImageViewerControlHandler(NewImageViewerControlEvent) ?

The ImageViewerAddOn you get includes imageViewerAddOn.WindowInformation.WindowId;

This is the Id of the Window. If you get the Window item there is location and size among the properties.

To test this I modified the Analytics Overlay plugin sample like this:

/// <summary>
/// A new ImageViewer has been created
/// </summary>
/// <param name="imageViewerAddOn"></param>
void NewImageViewerControlEvent(VideoOS.Platform.Client.ImageViewerAddOn imageViewerAddOn)
{
	lock (_activeImageViewerAddOns)
	{
		String tx = "null";
		if (imageViewerAddOn.WindowInformation != null)
		{
			tx = "" + imageViewerAddOn.WindowInformation.WindowId;
			Item item = Configuration.Instance.GetItem(imageViewerAddOn.WindowInformation.WindowId, Kind.Window);
			string position = item.Properties["Location.X"];
		}

I did not see information on the Monitor, I suspect it is because I only have one monitor. (Working from home (because of Covid-19) I do not have access to test with a second monitor on the PC.) If you do not find a way to get the information on the monitor used while working with this please let me know..

Sorry the question might not be clear enough @Bo Ellegård Andersen (Milestone Systems)​ .

If i’m not mistaken, in the SmartClient the Window contains a ViewAndLayoutItem.

There is multiple ViewItems displayed, and for example if the view is (1+1), there is two ViewItem position.

So in my case i want to be able to say on a view with multiple viewitems that if the viewItem is in position 1 display overlay but if it’s in the second position do not display overlay. So if the camera is displayed in the two differents position only the one in position 1 will display the Overlay.

Therefore when listening for NewImageViewerControlEvent if it’s in the right ViewItem Position i can create my overlay.

Hope that’s more understandable

While trying to investigate this my memory was triggered, I might have a previous answer that can help.

If it does not fit or does not work let me know, let me know what you have tried and what you experienced..
