Resize and move window example not working for me, don't know how to change parameters....

[xuzo]

I have read the help files, and tried the example, but nothing is happening, I see some code 0,0,0,0 and changed settings, but the window does nothing.

How can I change the parameters for window size and position, where in the code and how?

 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Assign a Local variable the handle of the NotePad window
    Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Notepad]")

    ; If the window does not exists, display a message and return False.
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Notepad window not found.")
        Return False
    EndIf

    ; Assign a Local variable the style of the Notepad window.
    Local $iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE)

    ; Remove from the window style the MAXIMIZEBOX, MINIMIZEBOX and SIZEBOX styles.
    $iStyle = BitXOR($iStyle, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX)

    ; Set the style of the window.
    _WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, $iStyle)

    ; Apply the style
    _WinAPI_SetWindowPos($hWnd, $HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($SWP_FRAMECHANGED, $SWP_NOMOVE, $SWP_NOSIZE))
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Hi!

This code works perfectly for me, but all it does is removing Notepad window's maximize and minimize buttons, as well as not allowing the window to be resized.

If you want to change a window position and size, you could try using WinMove() function. If you want to get the current window position and size, then use WinGetPos().

sorry, it's WinMove(), not WinPos()

What I am trying to do is this:

 

1. Open a notepad window (it will open on the size it was manually set last time the program ran)

2. Resize the window to 100px. wide  by 100px. high

3. Move the window 100px. on Y axis and move it to 100px. on X axis

Basically, I want to automate grabbing the window by hand and setting it's size with the mouse.

The code in first post seems to be fine. But don't use $SWP_NOMOVE or $SWP_NOSIZE flags in _WinAPI_SetWindowPos if you want to move or resize the window.

If you want to rely on AutoIt native functions (easier to understand), then here's your code:

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]")
WinMove("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 100, 100, 100, 100, 100)

The first line runs Notepad.

The second line waits until Notepad window shows up.

The third line moves Notepad window to 100px in x axis and 100px in y axis, as well as resize it to 100px of width and 100px of height, on a speed of 100, as you said you want to simulate the mouse action (slowest - the minimum is 1 - fastest - and if you just ignore this argument it will move instantly). 

WinMove ( "title", "text", x, y [, width [, height [, speed]]] )

Here's the documentation for that function: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinMove.htm

Im having an issue that soon after i move the screen go back to the same position.

I created a infinite while loop after i call the function that moves the screen to check if it was because the script was not running anymore but it is not.

Soon after i resize and position to 0,0 the screen comes back
