Packages

Other packages to try:

"github.com/go-ole/go-ole"
"github.com/lxn/win"
"github.com/yusufpapurcu/wmi"
"github.com/winlabs/gowin32"
"github.com/hillu/go-ntdll"
"github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo"
"github.com/iamacarpet/go-win64api"
"github.com/Microsoft/go-winio"
"github.com/dblohm7/wingoes"
"github.com/gonutz/w32" < preferred, acts like win32 python package

Alternative way to get cursor position

Alternative way to get cursor in case Golang tells that syscall.Syscall is deprecated and recommends to use syscall.SyscallN instead:

userDll := syscall.NewLazyDLL("user32.dll")
getWindowRectProc := userDll.NewProc("GetCursorPos")
type POINT struct {
	X, Y int32
}
var pt POINT
_, _, eno := syscall.SyscallN(getWindowRectProc.Addr(), uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&pt)))
if eno != 0 {
	fmt.Println(eno)
}
fmt.Printf("[cursor.Pos] X:%d Y:%d\n", pt.X, pt.Y)

Run command

// get output
out, err := exec.Command("date").Output()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("The date is %s\n", out)

// just run + check for error
cmd := exec.Command("cmd.exe", "/C", "start", "/b", ".\\telltail-sync.ahk")
cmd.Dir = dir
if err := cmd.Run(); err != nil {
	log.Println("Error:", err)
}

Get details of attached monitors

Option A:

Get-WmiObject -Query "SELECT DeviceID, Name FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE PNPClass = 'Monitor'"

or option B:

Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Property InstanceName -Namespace root\wmi
# OR
Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi | Where-Object { $_.InstanceName -like "DISPLAY\SOMESTRING\*" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty InstanceName
# OR
Get-WmiObject -Query "SELECT InstanceName FROM WmiMonitorID" -Namespace root\wmi

Prefer option B as it doesn't capitalizes 14db058f part of DISPLAY\SHP1523\5&14db058f&2&UID512_0 and thus can directly be supplied to monitorian (after stripping _0 of course).

Softwares to control brightness

https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html https://github.com/chrismah/ClickMonitorDDC7.2

Getting a random number

// use "math/rand/v2" package

func randRange(min, max int) int {
	return rand.IntN(max-min) + min
}

brightness := randRange(0, 101)

Decoding WMI string

Just in case if I need it. See version 3 of 3 of the artifact here https://claude.ai/chat/03348c23-6712-4da4-bacb-7c682c935a14. The struct in there suggest to use string type for bytes which is probably incorrect.

func decodeWMIString(s string) string {
	bytes := []byte(s)
	for i := 0; i < len(bytes); i++ {
		if bytes[i] == 0 {
			return string(bytes[:i])
		}
	}
	return s
}
