ControlMove won't function at all. (Used a different method)

[aa2zz6]

In my script I created a parent child GUI. I set the $X and $Y coordinates as random variables and I included the ControlMove for the mouse to follow the Child GUI. I can't seem to get the ControlMove to move in the direction of the Child GUI.

Make your script run, as it stands it does not.

Wait a tick...why are you passing in the window handle to be moved as a control...do you really just want to WinMove?

Other than that, I suggest you click the links in your post (the blue functions), and read what the function does, and what params to pass into it.

The AutoIt v3 Window Info doesn't display any information of the child GUI so I was trying anything at this point. Everything works fine if I remove the control function out of the script beside the cursor not moving onto the child GUI. I tried the MouseMove but the cursor wouldn't move to the location. I'll revise this project after a good nights sleep.

To move the Child-GUI you have to use WinMove.

I solved my problem. I'll edit the code in the first post.

Brilliant move, now the thread makes even absolutely no sense.

[aa2zz6]

I can appreciate the help on the AutoIt forums. Feel free to delete this thread. The controlmove function probably wouldn't of worked.
