monitor

I am using python and want to create a fullscreen window. I know about the pygame.FULLSCREEN flag but when I use that there's areas of black around the screen. Is there any way to get the monitor size using python so I can make the window the correct size? Alex Martelli Per the docs , pygame.display.Info gives you a VideoInfo object that has, among other attributes: current_w , current_h : Width and height of the current video mode, or of the desktop mode if called before the display.set_mode is called. pygame.display.list_modes gives you a list of the available fullscreen resolutions, e.g.,

I have a question about running an app in the background. I know about how to do it, but Apple does not like the way I'm doing it. To get you on the same page, I have a security app, and I need to it monitor the device even when it is in the background. It is sort of like a burglar alarm. I was using background audio mode, thinking it would be okay because I will be playing a sound when it is triggered. Needless to say, Apple didn't like that. So I added a ping! It pings while active, therefor playing background audio while in the background. Once again, they didn't like that either. My app

Are condition variables & monitors used in C#? Can someone give me an example? The equivalent of a condition variable that you use just for signaling in .NET is the abstract WaitHandle class. Practical implementations of it are the ManualResetEvent and AutoResetEvent classes. A condition variable that you use as a monitor requires System.Threading.Monitor. The C# lock statement makes it very easy to use, it ensures the monitor is always exited without explicitly programming the Exit() call. System.Threading.Monitor is one way (example within) You can use the Lock object which acts as syntactic

I want to write an application that logs the usage of other applications on my phone. So for example I get the times I have entered Facebook. I understand there is no way to get a broadcastreceiver to wake up every time Facebook starts. Another way is to have a service that always runs in the background and checks for running apps and goes to sleep every second or so, but I guess this will drain my battery faster. So what is the best way this could be done? is there some kind of log I can look at? The only way to monitor other apps is by monitoring foreground activity. This will drain your

I am using WMI Win32_MonitorDesktop to get all the monitors information on the system. However it only returns one. I have tried it on several computers, and they definitely have multiple monitors on them, connected and working. ManagementObjectSearcher monitorObjectSearch = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_DesktopMonitor"); foreach (ManagementObject monitor in monitorObjectSearch.Get()) { Debug.WriteLine(monitor["Description"]); } Does anyone know why i'm only getting 1 monitor returned? Also if I assign the return value of monitorObjectSearch.Get() to a variable, I am unable
