grindy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi all, This is my first post here, as I've just discovered AutoIT. I have some scripting/programming experience, but it is very basic. What I want to do (and I was referred to AutoIT on another forum when I asked this question) is fairly basic. I want to be able to control the size and screen position of a Windows application every time it opens. Could someone point me in the right direction or better yet a tutorial that shows me how to do this? All help appreciated, bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidney Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 you should look at WinExists and WinMove in the help file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grindy Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have now looked at WinExists and WinMove and obviously happy that AutoIT will be able to do what I want. Could someone post an example of a script that will check for the existance of a window and then re-size and re-position it? Thx, bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidney Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If WinExists("Untitled - Notepad") = 1 Then WinMove("Untitled - Notepad", "", 0, 0, 500, 500) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grindy Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 If WinExists("Untitled - Notepad") = 1 Then WinMove("Untitled - Notepad", "", 0, 0, 500, 500) Outstanding... TYVM... Pretty straightforward, thx bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
