WinMove function doesn't want to work - Help


Recommended Posts

My first script. I'm attempting to resize a window to my preference.

Run ( "notepad.exe")
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad", "")
WinMove ( "Untitled - Notepad", "", 2739, 558, 459, 612 )
Sleep (500)
Run ( 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' )

But it doesn't seem to be working. After searching through the online doc and forum... i'm completely confused at why it won't work. I'm sure i'm doing something stupid. :)

While i'm at it. Does the WinMove function only work on text files? (questioned due to the requisite for _text_ param in WinMove function). i.e. if i set the following code which loads Windows Picture viewer... and then attempt resize as such:

Run ( 'rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen C:\Documents and Settings\someone\My Documents\My Pictures\folder\47.JPG' )
WinActivate("47.JPG - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "")
WinMove ( "47.JPG - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "", 2739, 558, 459, 612 )
Sleep (500)
Run ( 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' )

would it work?

Thanks

Shams

This should work:

Run("rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll, ImageView_Fullscreen C:\Documents and Settings\someone\My Documents\My Pictures\folder\47.JPG")
WinWaitActive("47.JPG - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "")
WinMove("47.JPG - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "", 2739, 558, 459, 612)
Sleep(500)
Run('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe')
(You can also use WinSetState instead WinMove).

WinMove ( "Untitled - Notepad", "", 2739, 558, 459, 612 )

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