Getting X & Y position of a separate program

[ThatBenderGuy]

I've done some search but I've come across nothing. To put it simply of what I am trying to accomplish is that I need to get where the window is so I can set the mouse to a specific location. I already know how to move the mouse but I have no idea how to get the x and y position of a separate window.

 

Several more things

 

1. How would I bring that window (using the process name I would guess) to the front?

 

2. How would I do something along the line of a settings file?

 

3. Is emulating a mouse actually moving as simple as checking if the current mouse x and y is less than or greater than the destination then just adding/subtracting a specific amount to give it the illusion of it moving?

 

here is my function I use to move the mouse, let me know if there is a way to automatically emulate movement. Thank you for your time

Func moveMouseTo($toX, $toY)
    Local $pos = MouseGetPos()
    MouseMove($pos[0] + $iX, $pos[1] + $iY, 0)
EndFunc   ;==>moveMouseTo

EDIT:

Nvrm about the 3rd one, I found the MouseMove function through a little bit of searching

It can be an ini or a txt it doesn't matter. The general setup of the settings file would be

setting1=value

setting2=another value

etc...

Just something so a user doesn't have to click a check box or similar when the script is ran.
