Hello,

I have a game (EQ1) which refuses to let its window be moved. I.e., I can successfully find it with IfWinExist, but the following WinMove just doesn't do anything.

The game window "feels" just normal when moving it with a mouse, it has the regular window borders, and the Window Spy displays its values fine.

Is it possible that the application somehow intercepts the WinMove? If so... is there a more low-level way to move it?

I'm not trying to do anything fancy; I just have a background AHK script which regularly looks for certain applications and moves them to specific locations. This worked with all applications I tried so far, but not this one.

Thanks!

maybe you should post your script?

The code is trivial...



It tells me "OK" every second but does not actually move the window.

I modified your code, see below, try this instead.

Huh?

My problem is that the WinMove does not do anything for this particular window.

Yes, thanks, I know that "WinMove 20,20" is a constant position. Of course I do *not* mean that it moves once and then not again. And of course this is just a simplified example, which works as intended when I replace the "ahk_class ..." with "Notepad", for example.

No matter where the window is, it is *never* moved, not to 20,20 nor to x+20,20 or whatever position I give it.

You may have to use the mouse to move it ... maybe MouseClickDrag
