Lining up windows programs from a script

[computergroove]

I want to open 3 vnc windows and set them all next to each other vertically. Is there a way to do this without using the mousedrag function? There is no command line parameter for either realvnc or ultravnc that will do this.

Use this to grab the windows to an array

winlist

Loop through the array, and calculate out positions, and move with

winmove

use this for your calcs

@DesktopHeight
@DesktopWidth

I tried winlist to try to get the following and I got 15 entries in my array when I should have only gotten 4 so I used ProcessList to get the array that looks like:

[0] 3

[1] vncviewer.exe 896

[2] vncviewer.exe 1246

[3] vncviewer.exe 1946

[4][2]

I have been rereading what I know about multidimensional arrays for hours and I cant get it.

1. How do I set a variable to = the second part of the array in [1-3]?

2. How do I use a PID with WinMove?

Use this to play around.  Notice I started at $i = 1, because the first entry in that array is the ubounds of the array:

Local $array[4][2]=[[3,""],[1,"a"],[2,"b"],[3,"c"]]
For $i = 1 To UBound($array)-1
    ConsoleWrite("$array[" & $i & "][0]= " & $array[$i][0] & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("$array[" & $i & "][1]= " & $array[$i][1] & @CRLF)
Next

Instead of :

For $i = 1 To UBound($array)-1

cant I just say 

For $i = 1 To $array[0]

I am missing something. I know that I cannot use msgbox to display an array. I use arraydisplay. Can I pull a piece of data out and use msgbox to display it? I have tried:

Local $aWinList = ProcessList("vncviewer.exe")
Local $i = ($aWinlist[1][2])
msgbox(0,"",$i)
Sleep(5000)

It runs but it doesn't do anything visible. Cant I just put the contents of the array into memory and assign each element to a variable? DO I or should I write the array to a file then pull the contents of the file out as I need them?

 In this case, you can do the above...but not all arrays will include the ubound in the first subscript, so I always loop as though it's not set.

Maybe this will make more sense:

Local $array[4][2]=[[3,""],[1,"a"],[2,"b"],[3,"c"]]
For $i = 1 To UBound($array)-1
    $var1 = $array[$i][0]
    $var2 = $array[$i][1]
    ConsoleWrite("$array[" & $i & "][0]= " & $var1 & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("$array[" & $i & "][1]= " & $var2 & @CRLF)

    MsgBox(1,1,"$array[" & $i & "][0]= " & $var1 & " " & "$array[" & $i & "][1]= " & $var2)

    ; you add your code to do stuff here...
Next

And no, you don't want to output to a file, because then you have the additional step of writing and reading a file...read directly out of the array, during the loop.

I got the array into variables that I can call individually. Is the second column (the number) the Process ID? How do I use the PID number to choose a window in autoit and move it with winmove?
