Can't move HW Monitor but can move other programs using WinMove()

[WoodGrain]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to move and resize a program call CPUID HWMonitor (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html) but WinMove() doesn't work. Can someone tell me how to get this to work for this program? I've successfully moved other programs using WinMove(), and I've used WinGetTitle ("[ACTIVE]") to confirm the title is correct. WinActivate("CPUID HWMonitor") does work.

If I run the following code nothing happens, doesn't move or resize, but AutoIt doesn't complain about the code either:

WinMove("CPUID HWMonitor", 0, 0, 475, 715)

The class changes every time the program opens (and I've nevery had a lot of success with classes tbh, bit hit and miss for me).

Thanks all!

#RequireAdmin
WinMove("CPUID HWMonitor", "", 0, 0, 475, 715)

 

[WoodGrain]

#RequireAdmin didn't work either

[LarsJ]

I usually do it this way:

$hWindow = WinGetHandle( "CPUID HWMonitor" )
If $hWindow Then WinMove( $hWindow, "", 0, 0, 475, 715 )

 

[WoodGrain]

Interesting, unfortunately that didn't work either

Your code is Wrong!:

WinMove("CPUID HWMonitor", 0, 0, 475, 715)

 

True code:

; WinMove ( "title", "text", x, y [, width [, height [, speed]]] ) 
WinMove("CPUID HWMonitor", "", 0, 0, 475, 715)

Try it !

or:

#RequireAdmin
Local $aList = WinList().
For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0]
    If $aList[$i][0] <> "" And BitAND(WinGetState($aList[$i][1]), 2) Then
        If StringInStr($aList[$i][0], "CPUID Hardware Monitor PRO") Or StringInStr($aList[$i][0], "CPUID Hardware Monitor") Or StringInStr($aList[$i][0], "CPUID HWMonitor") Or StringInStr($aList[$i][0], "Hardware Monitor") Or StringInStr($aList[$i][0], "HWMonitor") Then
            WinMove($aList[$i][0], "", 0, 0, 475, 715)
            ConsoleWrite("Title: " & $aList[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Handle: " & $aList[$i][1] & @CRLF)
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

Well spotted, unfort it still doesn't work.

That being said, ur 2nd code did work.. examining code..

I tested the actual code and software on my computer! Windows7 x64, Windows 10x64, Windows Server 2016 x64 with Autoit 32bit and x64
It works. That is all!

[WoodGrain]

Why does your second code work, but your 1st code and LarsJ's code not work..?

From what I can see your 2nd code just looks up the WinList() array for any of the matching strings, retrieves the handle of the program and then applies the move to the handle. How is that different to what LarsJ posted?
