WinMove FileOpenDialog - (Solved)

[ripdad]

Is there some way to WinMove a FileOpenDialog without using some external helper function?

Search the forum, there is a version written by Melba23.

Thanks for the tip.

I did searched the forum -- but did not come up with anything remotely what I needed for FileOpenDialog.

Anyways, you have a link?

I may be wrong, but I think @dmob is referring to the following post:

Well, what I was hoping for was perhaps FileOpenDialog embedded in a GUI, and then move the GUI -- If it was possible.

I made an external helper script that does the job nicely, but was trying to avoid using it.

Not possible as this function is synchronous.   Either you rewrite the OpenDialog for your own good (GUI mode), or use a Run single line of code, and receive result thru IPC (this could be as simple as a StdoutRead).

Nine,

Okay thanks.  I appreciate it.

This is what I came up with after I found a way on the forum here:

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/181491-question-about-autoit3executeline/?do=findComment&comment=1303207

Works very nice:

Local $sCmd = '"Local $d1 = WinWait(""Open "", """"), $d2 = WinMove(WinGetHandle(""Open ""), """", 400, 1)"'
Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine ' & $sCmd)

You might have to adjust it a bit for your needs at:  ""Open "" and the coordinates.

Here is a example using GUICreate.  

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

;~ Global $hWnd = GUICreate("", -1, -1, 50, 50, $WS_POPUP) ;Left = 50, Top = 50
Global $hWnd = GUICreate("", -1, -1, @DesktopWidth / 4, @DesktopHeight / 4, $WS_POPUP) ;Centered

Global $sFilePath = FileOpenDialog("", "", "CSV (*.csv)|Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)|Videos (*.avi;*.mpg)", $FD_FILEMUSTEXIST, "", $hWnd)
If @error Then Exit

GUIDelete($hWnd)

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & $sFilePath & @CRLF & @CRLF)
