I'm trying to write a program that monitor and arrange windows that belong to a certain program. The problem is I don't know what windows message or event I can hook into in order for my program to know that one of the windows I'm watching was just moved and get the new coordinates of the window's location. Anyone know what I need for this?

Code:
OnMessage(0x201, "Gui_Move")

GUI_Move(wParam, lParam)
{
   global active_ID, ini_guiposX, ini_guiposY
   CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
   MouseGetPos, Xpos, Ypos, OutputvarWin, OutputVarControl
   WinGetPos, winXpos, winYpos, , , ahk_id %active_ID%
    if (OutputvarWin = active_ID)
    {
       if (OutputVarControl = "")
       {         
          xoffset := Xpos - winXpos
          yoffset := Ypos - winYpos
;          MsgBox, %xoffset% - %yoffset%
          Loop
            {
             GetKeyState, state, LButton
               if state = D
               {
                  MouseGetPos, Xpos, Ypos
                  ini_guiposX := Xpos - Xoffset
                  ini_guiposY := Ypos - Yoffset
                  Gui,1: show, x%ini_guiposX% y%ini_guiposY%,
               }
               else
                  break
            }
       }
   }
return
}

I cannot seem to make the RunBox example work as stated. Gui_Move was being triggered, but the OutputvarWin was never equal to active_ID.

Also, I thought OnMessage only worked for when the AHK script received the message. If this is true, then I would need more than just OnMessage, because I want to watch windows of other applications.
