One of my monitors on HDMI loses its connection every so often, and often when I change ultramon profiles.
I believe this is because it’s connected through one of those cheap $15 ebay hdmi switchers.
When this happens, I have to switch the monitor to another hdmi input and then back. This works kinda, but it is a pain.
I wrote a script to toggle the monitor on/off. But when it is re-enabled, it's in the wrong place, usually on the right of the others, not where it was when enabled.
Is there a way in scripting to get it to return to the original position on re-enabling it?
<![CDATA[
Set sys = CreateObject("UltraMon.System")
Set mon = sys.Monitors("3")
If mon.Enabled = True Then
mon.Enabled = False
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
Else
mon.Enabled = True
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
End If

On Windows 7 and later the stored settings for disabled monitors are frequently invalid, to set the position explicitly you'll have to set the Left and Top properties:
<![CDATA[mon.Left = -1024
mon.Top = 256]]>

Thanks, the below works.
Is there a reason I couldn't use a variable named "left", is that a reserved word? I kept getting errors until I changed it.
<![CDATA[
Set sys = CreateObject("UltraMon.System")
Set mon = sys.Monitors("3")
leftx = mon.Left
topx = mon.Top
mon.Enabled = False
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
WScript.Sleep 4000
mon.Left = leftx
mon.Top = topx
mon.Enabled = True
sys.ApplyMonitorChanges
MsgBox ("re-enabled with top=" & topx & " Left = " & leftx)
]]>

Yes, Left is a VBScript function, returns a specified number of characters from the left side of a string.
