…or my WinApi weekend. Someone at the office asked why the Flash player does not remember size and position. My answer was FDT would do it for you. But since we are not using it (arrg!) I asked the C++ gurus here what keywords I have to google for to do it on my own.
The result is FlashMate. Just download, unzip and start it. It will be completly silent (perfect for startup) and while FlashMate is running your player will remember size and position for SWF files individually. You can also disable FlashMate for certain files. Just right click on the titlebar and uncheck it.
Hope this nifty little thing will make your daily life a little bit easier. Ugly source code is included — I am not a good C/C++ coder at all but digging a little bit in the WinApi was fun. Now back to managed memory :)
Improvements and bug reports are more than welcome.
