here is a GUI with 7 buttons. Very simply, most of the buttons open a window and places it. If you just look at the 'case' for button 3................it does NOT move the window to the numbers in the script. No matter what numbers I put in.........the window opens to the same place everytime.

; GUI create

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
;#include <Array.au3>

Why do you have the winwait commented out?

Add some debugging:

$hWin =  WinMove("C:Documents and SettingssebradDesktopshawnPromo AM","",50,20,800,700)

If IsHwnd($hWin) Then
 consolewrite ("able to find window" & @crlf)
Else
 consolewrite ("UNable to find window" & @crlf)
EndIf

winmove returns:

Return Value

Success: Returns handle to the window. Failure: Returns 0 if window is not found.

oh, not the console output. AutoIT comes with an exe = auto it window info tool

launch that, and drag the cursor over the window you are trying to attach to...copy the tool's info to the forum

sbrady,

On my Vista system the path of an Explorer window is only visible in the "text" tab of the Window Info Tool. So you have the wrong parameters in WinWait and WinMove - which is why AutoIt does not find the window. ;)

If you do something like this it should work - it certainly does for me:

ShellExecute("Your_Path")
$hHandle = WinWait("", "Your_Path")        ; Look for the path in the text and get the handle of the window
WinMove($hHandle, "", 100, 120, 400, 400)  ; use the handle here

All clear? :)

Edit: I see from the above that your XP system does the same so it should work for you too. :)

maybe, to narrow down the search, you should include the window class to search for:

ShellExecute("Your_Path")
$hHandle = WinWait("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "Your_Path")        ; Look for the path in the text and get the handle of the window
WinMove($hHandle, "", 100, 120, 400, 400)  ; use the handle here

just in case some other window exists with the text (doubtful, but why not)
