Moves or resizes a control.
ControlMove , Control, X, Y, Width, Height, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText
If blank or omitted, the target window's topmost control will be used. Otherwise, specify either ClassNN (the classname and instance number of the control) or the control's text, both of which can be determined via Window Spy. When using text, the matching behavior is determined by SetTitleMatchMode.
To operate upon a control's HWND (window handle), leave the Control parameter blank and specify ahk_id %ControlHwnd%
for the WinTitle parameter (this also works on hidden controls even when DetectHiddenWindows is Off). The HWND of a control is typically retrieved via ControlGet Hwnd, MouseGetPos, or DllCall().
If either is blank or omitted, the control's position in that dimension will not be changed. Otherwise, specify the X and Y coordinates (in pixels) of the upper left corner of the control's new location, which can be expressions. The coordinates are relative to the upper-left corner of the control's parent window; ControlGetPos or Window Spy can be used to determine them.
If either is blank or omitted, the control's size in that dimension will not be changed. Otherwise, specify the new width and height of the control (in pixels), which can be expressions.
If each of these is blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. Otherwise, specify for WinTitle a window title or other criteria to identify the target window and/or for WinText a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility).
ExcludeTitle and ExcludeText can be used to exclude one or more windows by their title or text. Their specification is similar to WinTitle and WinText, except that ExcludeTitle does not recognize any criteria other than the window title.
Window titles and text are case-sensitive. By default, hidden windows are not detected and hidden text elements are detected, unless changed with DetectHiddenWindows and DetectHiddenText. By default, a window title must start with the specified WinTitle or ExcludeTitle to be a match, unless changed with SetTitleMatchMode.
[v1.1.04+]: This command is able to throw an exception on failure. For more information, see Runtime Errors.
ErrorLevel is set to 1 if there was a problem or 0 otherwise.
To improve reliability, a delay is done automatically after every use of this command. That delay can be changed via SetControlDelay.
