WinMove not working

[donsonmd]

Hello,

I can't have the MsgBox window moved. The file is test.AHK and the WinTitle was obtained from WinSpy. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thank you.

Code: Select all

DOS := "11/29/21"
PtName := "John Doe"
BD := "08/22/82"

MsgBox, 4096, DOS-Name-BD, % "DOS:`t" DOS "`n`nName:`t" PtName "`n`nDOB:`t" BD
WinWaitActive, DOS-Name-BD ahk_exe Test.exe
;WinMove, ahk_class #32770, , 82, 300
WinMove, DOS-Name-BD, , 82, 300
;WinMove, ahk_exe test.exe, , 82, 300
;WinMove, DOS-Name-BD ahk_exe Test.exe, , 82, 300
Return

Here is "Scripts and Functions", you need to go "Ask For Help".

The MSGBOX statement stops the process until the OK button is pressed. To move an MSGBOX window you must do it with a timer in an independent thread, try this:

Code: Select all

title := "DOS-Name-BD"
DOS := "11/29/21"
PtName := "John Doe"
BD := "08/22/82"

test_move := Func("WinMoveMsgBox").bind(title)
SetTimer, % test_move, 50
MsgBox, 4096, % title, % "DOS:`t" DOS "`n`nName:`t" PtName "`n`nDOB:`t" BD   
Return

WinMoveMsgBox(pTitle) { 
	ID:=WinExist(pTitle)
  If (ID) {
    WinMove, % "ahk_id "ID ,82,300 
    SetTimer ,, off         
  }     
 Return
}
