Verifying the validity of window position from a previously saved position

[cristeab]

Hi

I am trying to check if the position previously saved of my window is valid for the available screen. My problem is that with 2 screens the saved position might have negative values. When I use a single screen, this position is no longer valid, but how can I verify the validity of the window position in a generic manner, when say multiple screens are available.

regards
Bogdan

You can get the QRect representing the whole virtual (multi-monitor) space using QDesktopWidget and then check if your stored point or rectangle is contained in the available space e.g.

QRect storedGeometry = ...

if(!QApplication::desktop()->geometry().contains(storedGeometry))
    storedGeometry =  ...//  adjust the stored geometry

contains() also has an overload for QPoint if you don't have the whole QRect.
