Hi there,

Maybe this is done before, but I was looking for a quick way to slide my GUI from one place to another.

Let me know what you think.....

I like it DaLiMan!

I am going to use your function to add floating buttons that attach to a Gui and follow it around the screen, like on the title bar on IE, which is a big waste of space.



I didn't find anything while searching for "Floating Toolbar"

WinAnimate does not let you move the script all over the place.
It slides the window in place, but it only uses the size and location of the GUI to do that...

If I'm wrong let me know!!!

But I agree, _WinAnimate is more advanced...
And if you are capable of DLL call U can use the 'AnimateWindow' function which I found in several scripts I downloaded from the forum...

    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd2, "int", 100, "long", 0x00040001);slide in from left

You are correct, you might think about combining, make the gui animate (appear) from random positions.

Well thats an idea , but beyond my capabilaties.... :">

I don't know where you guy's get all this info about these DLL's.
On MSDN I can see the the options and in which DLL it's in, but how on earth should I know that I need to set an option to 0x0004000a like WinAnimate's :
Global Const $AW_DIAG_SLIDE_IN_BOTTOMRIGHT = 0x0004000a ;diag slide-in from Bottom-right

Maybe someday I'll figure it out......

Might want to search MSDN, also a good tool is ApiViewer 2004
