| I have a miniwindow plugin enabled in my script. It will be loaded each time starting a .MCL script.
The window position is calcuated from the size of main window.
My problem is that the miniwindow can not be located in the specified position.
I find the root cause of the issue is that the main window has not been ready when installing the miniwindow plugin which passed an incorrect window size to the plugin.
I added some debug messages in my plugin install function to proved my guess:
function OnPluginInstall ()
Note(GetInfo(281)) -- get windows width
DoAfterSepcial(5, "Note(GetInfo(281))", sendto.script) -- get windows width again after 5 secs
end
I got the first valuse 791 and the second value 1419, which shows when plugin is installed, the main window has not been completely initialized.
How can I force the plugin install staring after main window is ready? | | Top |

| "DoAfterSepcial" looks like a typo.
You can use DoAfterSpecial to initialize the miniwindow after a couple of seconds (rather than in OnPluginInstall). |

| How to get the plugin installed out of OnPluginInstall ?
I tried add DoAfterSpecial within OnPluginInstall function but it doesn't work as some parameters can not be passed.
function OnPluginInstall ()
DoAfterSpecial(5, "tabbed_window.init (context1)", sendto.script)
DoAfterSpecial(5, "tabbed_window.draw_window (context1, 1)", sendto.script)
end

| | Just call a function (eg. DelayedInstall) and then have that do all the work. |

| Finially, I get the plugin works by auto-detecting the status of the main window.
function OnPluginInstall ()
wait.make(function()
repeat
if GetInfo(285) == true then
InstallAfterReady()
break
end
wait.time(0.5)
until false
end)
end
function InstallAfterReady()
context1.window.left = GetInfo(281) - 600
tabbed_window.init (context1)
tabbed_window.draw_window (context1, 1)
end
