If using a double monitor, window(SUI) is displayed on the main monitor.

I want to display the window(SUI) based on the InDesign location.

How to get InDesign location?

Thanks.

app.activeWindow.bounds will give you the coordinates of the front-most window in Indesign. $.screens will give you information about the displays. You can use these two properties to infer the position of indesign.

    Hi Vamitul,

    on Mac OSX with the application frame set (in contrast to the free floating windows), app.activeWindow.bounds is not working as expected. It will return the same values for all windows. And that are the values for the application frame window.
    ( Just a note )

    It's great, if on Windows app.activeWindow.bounds is working as expected.

    Uwe, it is working correctly on OSX, but unexpected: when you enable the application frame Indesign literally only has one window, the application frame.
