Winmove not working on windows 10

[keelaji]

Hello,

first of all i searched in the forum but i didn't found any solution to my problem.

I am using windows 10.

I made a script that is supposed to change the title to the active window, resize it to the smallest size possible (should be around 800 x 600) and move to (0, 0).

I can change the title but i fail to do the other 2 tasks.

i use wingettitle [active] copied from the F1 help tool (and this works), i i put the title in a variable and than i use

winsettitle ($variable, "one") (this works too)

winmove ("one", 0, 0, 800, 600) (doesn't do anything)

i also tried

local $x = winget ( "one")

msgbox (0, "", $x) (i get a completely white box so i suppose winget can't have any data about my window ??)

any suggestion ?

I would suggest something like this --

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[Active]")
WinSetTitle($hWnd, "new title")
WinMove($hwnd, "", 0, 0, 800, 600)

I tried this and it works, but not completly, it doesn't get resized, but it get moved to the top left corner. I have to double click on the window title to see it resized and i have a little spaze like 3-4 mm from the monitor left border to my window left border.

Have you tried using different values for the width and height parameters?

Is there a reason you aren't using WinSetState to maximize the window?

Please ignore the last post i updated the page and posted it twice.

i tried using another size yes, but no difference, it works but it doesn't resize immediatly the window.

 

im not so expert in the use of autoit, so no there is no specific reason why i am not using winsetstate.

i don't know what winsetstate does but i will check it when i will back home.
