active-win-pos-rs

A small Rust library that lets you get position and size of the active window on Windows, MacOS and Linux

Usage

Add to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

active-win-pos-rs = "0.5"

Use:

use active_win_pos_rs::get_active_window;

fn main() {
    match get_active_window() {
        Ok(active_window) => {
            println!("active window: {:#?}", active_window);
        },
        Err(()) => {
            println!("error occurred while getting the active window");
        }
    }
}

Would give you an instance of ActiveWindow struct with unique window id, process id and window position.

Or use active_win_pos_rs::get_position to get the WindowPosition only.

Build

% git clone https://github.com/dimusic/active-win-pos-rs.git

% cd active-win-pos-rs

% cargo build

Example

% cargo run --example active-window

Output:

active window: ActiveWindow {
    window_id: "0x70af2",
    process_id: 22908,
    position: WindowPosition {
        x: 1414.0,
        y: 135.0,
        width: 993.0,
        height: 519.0,
