Windows 10 and WinMove issues Topic is solved

[jadams0173]

I've read the FAQ about UAC and Windows 10. I've went back and added the "Run with UI Access" to my AHK installation. I've also read numerous posts on the issue. I've actually turned my UAC in Win10 all the way down as a test. I'm trying to resize and move the active window to facilitate using known coordinates for mouse clicks. Can anyone give me some more guidance on what I'm missing to get the WinMove to work. I moved the .ahk file to the same directory as the .exe for the file I'm running. I even complied it and it still didn't work. Everything below works, except moving the window.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
#NoEnv
^+o::

WinMove, A, 577, 257
msgbox, Did it move?

WinGetPos, X, Y,,, A
MsgBox, The active window is at %X%`,%Y%

WinGetTitle, Title, A
MsgBox, The active window is "%Title%".

Return

Afaics, your WinMove syntax matches neither of the two allowed variants (the second being the relevant one here):

WinMove, X, Y
WinMove, WinTitle, WinText, X, Y [, Width, Height, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText]

Try

Code: Select all

WinMove, A, , 577, 257

Thank you so much! I stared at that missing comma way to long. I'm still rather new but should have caught that one. Thanks again! It worked!
