WinMove, WinActivate, WinSetState - not working certain windows

[jgear]

Hi All,

Been trying to figure this out for hours - I seem to be no closer.

Just last night, the WinMove and WinActivate functions were working on the window I am working with right now, but they stopped working. I made no significant changes to the system.

Here is the code which won't work:

WinMove("Windows PowerShell", "", 0, 0, 200, 200, 1)

The WinActivate command also seems to have stopped working, but I am less concerned with that function.

I can see the window in the list when I use WinList.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

J

try this

$hwnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]")
If IsHWnd($hwnd) Then
    WinMove($hwnd, "", 0,0,200,200)
Else
    MsgBox(1,1,"send us the autoit window info tool output")
EndIf

Same problem.Maybe the last version of AutoIt? (yesterday it was working)

Works fine here when simply starting powershell from the startmenu and running the posted line from SciTE which is running under normal User credentials that is member of the Adminstrators group but not in "Run as Admin" mode.

What exactly do you do?

Finally, I think it's because SciTe,or the way it works with the last edition of AutoIt 64 bits, because directly running au3 files with AutoIt is OK.

Are you running SciTE with "Run As Administrator" and Powershell in normal mode?

I tried from SciTE both in Normal mode and it worked fine, so it's imported they both run at the same level.

Direct from the example

WinMove

WinMove() has no effect on minimized windows, but WinMove() works on hidden windows

are you trying to move a minimized window?

The example works fine and isn't a minimised window which is the same as a Hidden window... A minimized Window can't be moved!
