First post, and WinMove question

[tantony]

This is my first post.  I'm using the below script in my PowerShell script to resize and move some windows.  My question is, when I move the window to 0,0 it doesn't go all the way to the top left corner.  It leaves a small gap.  What's the reason for that?  

I'm new to AutoIT, and so far, I found it very helpful in working with GUI.

MoveWindow()

Func MoveWindow()
    Run("notepad.exe")
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)
    WinMove($hWnd, "", 0, 0, 200, 200)
EndFunc 

Thanks,

It's a known issue on Windows 10 seems there is padding, the easiest way is to use something like:

MoveWindow()
Func MoveWindow()
    Run("notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)
    Local $aWndPos = WinGetPos($hWnd, "")
    WinMove($hWnd, "", $aWndPos[0], $aWndPos[1], 200, 200)
EndFunc

When I run the script, I get an error on EndFunc

Unfortunately sometimes when you copy the code from the forum it contains some hidden text, paste it in NotePadd++ or delete the EndFunc line and write it manually.

I figured it out.  Apparently, if you do -7 it will snap all the way to 0,0.  I found this info from another Windows forum.

On my machine it's -8 which is why I use the WinGetPos

It could be -8 also (too small to notice).  I just went with -7 because someone mentioned it in a tech forum.  I don't remember where exactly.
