Event on Window Move

[Klovis 0]

Were all familiar with the windows error

So I want to Emulate that with auto it, so everytime you move the window it would make another window where is was 20 pixels ago, so is there a GUIRegisterMsg or something like that that keeps track of the Window'sPOS. Any maybe a way to recreate window too? I don't know where to start

the window moving part isn't that hard.

$pos = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")

While 1
    $pos2 = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")
    If $pos[0] <> $pos2[0] And $pos[1] <> $pos2[1] Then
        ;commands here
    EndIf
WEnd

example:

$pos = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")

While 1
    $pos2 = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")
    If $pos[0] <> $pos2[0] And $pos[1] <> $pos2[1] Then
        ConsoleWrite($pos[0] & "=" & $pos2[0] & ";" & $pos[1] & "=" & $pos2[1] & @CRLF)
        $pos = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")
    EndIf
WEnd

the hard part in my opinion is the 20 pixels and the acitual function to make another window. i would say in the commands put a guicreate with the cords of the original $pos and then make $pos have the same value as the new location, then it should repeat. but creating so many gui's might crash your computer if they get outta hand.

Something like this ?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$_Gui = GUICreate ( "", 350, 150, Default, Default, Default, $WS_EX_TOPMOST )
GUISetState ( )
GUIRegisterMsg ( $WM_MOVE, "_WM_MOVE" )

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _WM_MOVE ( $hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam )
    $_WinPos = WinGetPos ( $_Gui )
    $_Gui2 = GUICreate ( "", 200, 100, $_WinPos[0]-20, $_WinPos[1]-20 )
    GUISetState ( )
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc ;==> _WM_COMMAND ( )

So I got stuck... every new notepad I make has the same name so... how would I do this diffently?

FileWrite("notepad.bat", "start notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir&"\notepad.bat")
Sleep(1000)

$pos = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")

While 1
    $pos2 = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")
    If $pos[0] <> $pos2[0] And $pos[1] <> $pos2[1] Then
        ConsoleWrite($pos[0] & "=" & $pos2[0] & ";" & $pos[1] & "=" & $pos2[1] & @CRLF)
        makenew()
        $pos = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")
    EndIf
WEnd

FileDelete(@ScriptDir&"\notepad.bat")

Func makenew()
    ShellExecute(@ScriptDir&"\notepad.bat")
    WinMove("Untitled - Notepad", -1, $pos2[0], $pos2[1])
EndFunc

What's wrong with this script

MsgBox(0, "Troll", "Lol")

$pos = WinGetPos("Troll")
$t = 0

While 1
    $pos2 = WinGetPos("Troll")
    If $pos[0] <> $pos2[0] And $pos[1] <> $pos2[1] Then
        makenew()
        $pos = WinGetPos("Troll")
    EndIf
WEnd

Func makenew()
    $t = $t + 1
    MsgBox(0, "Troll" & $t, "Lol")
    WinMove("Troll" & $t, -1, $pos2[0], $pos2[1])
EndFunc

Something like this ?

$_Gui = GUICreate ( "", 350, 150, Default, Default, Default, $WS_EX_TOPMOST )

GUIRegisterMsg ( $WM_MOVE, "_WM_MOVE" )

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _WM_MOVE ( $hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam )
    $_WinPos = WinGetPos ( $_Gui )
    $_Gui2 = GUICreate ( "", 200, 100, $_WinPos[0]-20, $_WinPos[1]-20 )
    GUISetState ( )
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc ;==> _WM_COMMAND ( )

Is it possible to get rid of the taskbar notification for when it is up I tryed the whole toolwindow thing and it didn't work.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$_Gui = GUICreate ( "", 200, 100, Default, Default, Default, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) )
GUISetState ( )
GUIRegisterMsg ( $WM_MOVE, "_WM_MOVE" )

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _WM_MOVE ( $hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam )
    $_WinPos = WinGetPos ( $_Gui )
    $_Gui2 = GUICreate ( "", 200, 100, $_WinPos[0], $_WinPos[1] )
    GUISetState ( )
