Should Mp be The Display-Aware Application (1 Viewer)

[te3hpurp]

As M$ describes it.

This popped into my mind one day. Methology explained here:
The Display-Aware Application (Windows)

It's basically detecting when monitor is disconnected.
I mean could this be used for correcting problems with Win7, when powering off Tv and back on.

For me at least part of desktop is displayed on one side or in bottom of the screen. Of course
it could be used other things too, like closing everything that is playing, for example calling g_player to stop.
Different scenarios for behavior when display is closed should be able to set in configuration.

It's basically detecting WM_DISPLAYCHANGE message in Mediaportals WndProc(), which allready is there. WM_DISPLAYCHANGE os hex 0x007E.

Hi.
In case someone is interested
I tested a bit.

    if (msg.Msg == 0x007E)
    {
        if (g_Player.Playing)
        {
            g_Player.Stop();
        }
        if (!windowed)
        {
            int y = (msg.LParam.ToInt32() >> 16) & 0xFFFF;
            int x = (msg.LParam.ToInt32() & 0x0000FFFF);
            this.Height = y;
            this.Width = x; 
            this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
        }
    }

in Mediaportal.cs in wndproc, gives the result that i wanted in Win 7. When i turn off/on my tv,
Mp now corrects itself to fill the whole screen.

In real life 0x007E should be defined as WM_DISPLAYCHANGE message etc. And probably there is
something else in Mp Gui programming that needs to taken into account, I just don't know it.
