In a dual monitor config, how can I check in which monitor SU is running, so I can locate correctly a HTMLDialog?

For example, immagine the following config:

MONITOR 1 on right
MONITOR 2 on left (where SU is running)

and the following code

dialog = UI;;HtmlDialog.new({
			  ;dialog_title => "MyWindow",
			  ;scrollable => true,
			  ;resizable => true,
			  ;width => 300,
			  ;height => 250,
			  ;left => 0,
			  ;top =>0,
			  ;style => UI;;HtmlDialog;;STYLE_UTILITY
			})

The dialog will apper outside from SU, in the MONITOR 1 instead of MONITOR 2 where is SU.

Hi guys, I'm guessing how to build a GUI without any decorations (frame, toolbar, statusbas, etc) like Fredo's Toposhaper does. Any ideas?

HI guys,
after a very long silence now I'm here... again!
I want to resume a very old plugin of mine, but I can find nowhere the original source.... I can find only 12 copy of the *rbs files.... I'm going crazy... I'm quite sure that those files died with a HD broken...

I tried to ask to Trimble some help to unscramlbe my own *.rbs but no answer after 3 weeks.... any idea how to solve this terrible issue?

I want to run an external software (that create a txt file to be post-processed by me) with system() call.

On Windows all fine. The system(cmd1,...) works, creates the txt file and then my ruby-code processes it as I want.

On OsX, on the other hand, it seems to work asynchronous: the system(cmd1,...) works and creates the txt BUT my ruby-code try to process the txt file IMMEDIATELY after the system call without waiting for its existence. I have to re-lauch my script, and then it finds the *.txt file and works ok....

Do you have some experience of it?

SketchUp 2014,2015,2016,2017 + Windows7 (all ok)
SketchUp 2015 + OsX 10.8 (bad)

Thanks for reply. I'm a bit confused ... resuming everythings:

I have my ruby *.rb extension. I want to protect it form piracy. So I scramble it (I discovered with my surprise that SU>2015+ has new APIs for it.....waiting for Trimble approval of my Developer status).....

But meanwhile, using the "old" *.rbs files..... each user needs to get a personalized, with its own datas (personal and hardware), rbs file.

So, I think to use my personal server, hosting the Scrambler.exe, and using PHP+POST methods retrieve user infos, send it to the server, work on it somewhat, scramble the extension and finally return it to the user ONE-PER-USER....

Theorically it seems to be good (to me) but my trouble starts as I have a Linux server and the Scrambler is and *.exe..... but.... Linux+Wine works like a charm (tested by me)..... so the final question was "How I can build everythings in PHP?".... making it simple.... RaspberryPI can use Wine ONLY into a chrooted environment....and PHP seems not to like it.....

So I'm looking for a different strategy....

I have read all your suggestions and ..... I'm trying to design a way to work.....

Why I decided to be a software developer?..... I have to design airplane.....I have to design airplane....

Dan you are definitely the best teacher on Programming I've ever meet! "Show why to do something rather than show HOW to do it!"

OK. So I can modify a lots of in-memory stuff from my main *.rbs "on runtime".

As in title, can I add some command (something like

@@a="my text"
run_my_function(@@a)
end
end

to my already scrambled plugin?

I need to retrieve some alpha-numeric code to locate a pc as unique worldwide, so I thought to get serial numbers (physical) of CPU and/or hardisk and/or MAC address...

I need to get CPU, Network, Harddisk infos

On Win I'm using WIN32OLE to get HW info (till now I can get only harddisk datas, I need a good doc reference for WIN32OLE) .....but any cross-platform way to get these infos?
