Fire Changed Event for GUIs on Window Maximize/Unmaximize

Feature Requests Engine Features
#1

I have a script that scales my GUIs based on the changing of the ScreenGuis AbsolutePosition/Size
I could use a while loop to avoid it screwing up the GUIs when it doesn’t fire, but this would be more efficient, it should fire anyway as the values do change.

#2

You can use the WindowFocused and WindowFocusReleased events of UserInputService for this, I believe

#3

Does it fire on maximize/unmaximize? I was under the impression it was for only when you switched active windows/minimizing.

#4

ScreenGuis AbsoluteSize should work for anything that changes the window’s size. If the window is minimized, filiptibell’s idea should work fine, and at least tell you the window is out-of-focus, although that doesn’t always mean minimized.

Here’s my issue when using ScreenGui.Changed to know when to reposition a GUI. (Notice that maximize/unmaximize messes it up until I actually change the screen size manually.)

Thats the gist of my underlying code. (RecalculatePositions functions recalculates my stored UDim2 positions that are in a table since many elements scale relative to the position and size of other elements)

GUI.Changed:connect(function()
	RecalculatePositions()
	if Flags.MainMenuWindow then
		RepositionElements("MainMenuWindow")
	elseif Flags.CreditsWindow then
		RepositionElements("CreditsWindow")
	end
end)

What OS are you using? If I print out the absolute size of the screengui on the changed event, it appears to be coming out ok.

#7

Windows 10. I don’t even need the ScreenGui’s absolute size value I believe, its as far as the Changed event firing which triggers the rescale. So my initial thought is that its firing before it finishes the maximize/unmaximize process.

Still having this issue. Upon maximize/unmaximize, WindowFocused and WindowFocusReleased does not fire.
GUI.Changed still gives me bad results. (It does report the right AbsoluteSize results, but its as if my function completely ignores that.)
I have no idea whats going on here.

It fires 2 functions every time it changes, and even sometimes after it changes by 1 pixel, it corrects some elements, then doesn’t correct the rest until the next change. (There’s also inaccuracies when I change the screen size drastically)

Edit: Adding a wait() fixes the inaccuracies, but Maximize/Unmaximize is still messed up
