WinMove isn't working

[Katie_Deely]

My program should open a window and move it to the top-left corner of the desktop.

ShellExecute("C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe", "compmgmt.msc", "System Tools")     ; opens "Computer Management"
Local $array = WinGetPos("Computer Management")                                 ; gets X-position, Y-position, height and width as an array
WinMove("Computer Management", "", 0, 0, $array[2], $array[3], 5)               ; should move the window to (0, 0) but doesn't

Exit

Well, it doesn't get moved. The window stays where it was opened. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

That doesn't change anything

Also, all MouseMove() that follow after WinMove() aren't executed.

Try:

#RequireAdmin
ShellExecute("C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe", "compmgmt.msc", "System Tools")     ; opens "Computer Management"
WinWait("Computer Management")
Local $array = WinGetPos("Computer Management")                                 ; gets X-position, Y-position, height and width as an array
WinMove("Computer Management", "", 0, 0, $array[2], $array[3], 5)               ; should move the window to (0, 0) but doesn't

You are kidding right?

You posted your question in 3 threads and now you come here to pollute this thread with your question? 

go back to your own thread and be patient!
