SetWindowPos alternative ?

what kind of window is it? Is it one of yourself of from another app?

Another app.

I know the Handle, and then I do:

SetWindowPos(Wnd, 0, 100, 100, 0, 0, 0);

it's quite possible the window itself doesn't allow it to be resized.
Did you try this same code on another window (from another app)?

^ This is doing fine with many Apps... just this one App won't move... So i figured maybe theres an alternative.

Anyone an alternative to SetWindowPos?

like MerijnB posted some apps don't allow to resize (see Constraints property of form in delphi)

ziolko.

I don't want to resize, I want to move the App.
Should be possible, since my mouse is able to move the app too.

there is MoveWindow() but I doub't if that will work.

Are you sure that the coordinates you give to SetWindowPos() result in the same size as the window already has?

Yes, I set the NOSIZE flag.

try like this



  WinRect: TRect;
begin

  GetWindowRect(wnd, WinRect);
  MoveWindow(wnd, 100, 100, WinRect.Right-WinRect.Left, WinRect.Bottom-WinRect.Top, True);
end

Not moving the winwdow...

Maybe it's possible to move the mouse to the title bar of the window, let it hold the left mouse button, and then move the mouse to a position... Possible ?

How you get the window handle?

Is that window handle is correct?

Yes, it is...

I even did GetWindowText to verify.

Besides, the code I use works with Notepad and many other Apps.. just not this one.

from where you get that application

Using Microsoft's Spy++ check the message flow while using mouse and using Code.

The problem is not Delphi... it is Windows Vista setting...

On my laptop (Vista), the code won't move the window, but on this computer (Also Vista), it will move the App... weird... used to work on both.

Is it possible to move window with a SendMessage command?
