How can I tile/cascade windows I created

[igmeou]

Now, the problem I facing now is that I had some child windows opened in the parent window. Is there a way that I can do a tile horizontally / vertically as similar to in windows

I attach my code for your reference.

Please let me know how I can shorten/tidy up my code if possible.

You could use a formula to calculate how many windows are open and then place it on the screen in a particular area. Code it for a default 800x600 resolution and then only code specical instances for 640x480 or smaller.

Example, parent starts at 0,0 and all windows are 200x 50y in size.

Tiling:

Parent_x = origin_x
Parent_y = origin_y

Child_1_x = origin_x
Child_1_y = origin_y + (1 * parent_size_y)

Child_2_x = origin_x
Child_2_y = origin_y + (2 * parent_size_y)

Child_3_x = origin_x
Child_3_y = origin_y + (3 * parent_size_y)

; new column

Child_4_x = origin_x + (1 * parent_size_x)
Child_4_y = origin_y + (1 * parent_size_y)

Child_5_x = origin_x + (1 * parent_size_x)
Child_5_y = origin_y + (2 * parent_size_y)

Child_6_x = origin_x + (1 * parent_size_x)
Child_6_y = origin_y + (3 * parent_size_y)

Example of Cascade, parent starts at 0,0 and all windows are 200x 50y:

std_inc = 25

Parent_x = origin_x
Parent_y = origin_y

Child_1_x = origin_x + std_inc
Child_1_y = origin_y + std_inc

Child_2_x = origin_x + (2 * std_inc)
Child_2_y = origin_y + (2 * std_inc)

Child_3_x = origin_x + (3 * std_inc)
Child_3_y = origin_y + (3 * std_inc)

I had went through this and came out with some code but it can't even move any of my child window.

Func tiling()
    $origin_x = 0
    $origin_y = 0
;Row arranging in 3
    For $count = 0 To 2 Step 1
    $windowSize =  WinGetClientSize("Window "&$count,"")
;Either this
;WinMove ("Window "&$count,"", $origin_x + ($count * $windowSize[0]), $origin_y + ($count * $windowSize[1]))
;Or this
    GUICtrlSetPos ($childControlID[$count], $origin_x + ($count * $windowSize[0]), $origin_y + ($count * $windowSize[1]))
    Next
EndFunc

This code is meant for doing the 1st column tiling but nothing happen when I call this funcion. Anyone please enlighten me please.
