WinGetPos Question

[Fend]

I am new to AutoIt so I apologize about the newbie questions. I have read the tutorial btw...

I am using WinGetPos to get the (x,y) coord of the application I am using. The code I wrote is

$size = WinGetPos("Nostale")

$WindowX = $size[0]

$WindowY = $size[1]

MsgBox(0,"window x,y:",$WindowX&","&$WindowY)

The resultant is 960,600 no matter where the windowed 1024by768 window is.

From reading about this function it appears that it returns the (x,y) location and the heigth and width or the window...I am lost

I guess I thought that if I moved the upper left corner of the window to say 100,100 that this function would return 100,100,1024,768

Try this..

Run('notepad.exe')
WinWaitActive('')
$size = WinGetPos("[active]")
MsgBox(0, "Active window stats (x,y,width,height):", $size[0] & " " & $size[1] & " " & $size[2] & " " & $size[3])

re-size and move notepad, then run it again..

Works better with Exit! LOL opened like 200

I still am not getting this code up and running...your example however proved that it does in fact return the right values...it must have something to do with the fact it is a game(no game gaurd).
