WinMove - not the same position on every window Topic is solved

[patrick227]

Hi,
I'm positioning the active window like this

Code: Select all

x:= 0
y:= 0
w:= 500
h:= 200

WinMove,A,, x, y, w, h

My Problem is that not all windows end up on the exact same position, most native Windows10 windows end up on the same position, but for example Thunderbird is 3px off, even worse VisualStudio is ~10px off.
I think there must be some window border variable or some other method I can use to set the real window x- and y-position (maybe also the size width and height is a problem). Can you help me, please?

Winmove is working correctly it appears to be off from win10's invisible window borders.

Try this test script and you can see for yourself:

Code: Select all

1::
    x:= 0 , y:= 0 , w:= 500 , h:= 200
    WinMove, A,, x, y, w, h
    WinGetPos, wx, wy, ww, wh, A
	movePos := "WinMove`n`nx= " . x . "`ny= " . y . "`nw= " . w . "`nh= " . h
	getPos := "WinGetPos`n`nx= " . wx . "`ny= " . wy . "`nw= " . ww . "`nh= " . wh
    MsgBox,, Window Stats:, % movePos . "`n`n---------`n`n" .  getPos
return

HTH

Thank you, that's what I mean, how can I get the border thickness of each window?

Great! WinGetPosEx does the job
