Wordperfect X5 window handle help

[major4579]

I'm having a problem using winmove with WordPerfect X5.

WordPerfect X5 is on top and is the active window. I run the following code

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
$WinTitle  = WinGetTitle("[active]")
$Err = WinMove ($WinTitle, "", 10, 10)
MsgBox (0, 'Move', "$WinTitle$ $Err$")

The WordPerfect window does NOT move and the msgbox shows:

$WinTitle= "WordPerfect X5 - Document 1"

$Err = 0, which means:  "Failure: 0 if the window is not found."

Any other program I've tried works fine. I then tried the following: Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1) $WinTitle  = WinGetTitle("[active]") $WinHandle = WinGetHandle( $WinTitle) MsgBox (0, 'Handle', "$WinTitle$ $WinHandle$") Again the msgbox showed $WinTitle= "WordPerfect X5 - Document 1" $WinHandle = 0 So I now assume that WordPerfect does NOT respond to the standard windows commands. Any suggestions of a work-around, or am I missing something? Thanks, Marc

Try putting 

#RequireAdmin

at the top, and see if that has any effect.

#RequireAdmin doesn't make any difference.

Does WinSetState have effect on it ?

WinSetState ($WinTitle, "text",@SW_RESTORE ) ; or @SW_MINIMIZE for example

Else, you can try with _WinAPI_SetWindowPos...

I haven't tried WinSetState, as the WordPerfect window is active, maximized and on top when I run the script.
