MoveWindow

Move a window and optionally select it

#include <Windows.h> Window Manager

void MoveWindow( theWindow, hGlobal, vGlobal, front );

WindowPtr theWindow ; window to move

short hGlobal ; horizontal coordinate (global screen ref)

short vGlobal ; vertical coordinate (global screen ref)

Boolean front ; TRUE=bring to front, FALSE=same plane

MoveWindow moves the window to the selected coordinates and optionally

makes the window active.

theWindow specifies the window to move.

hGlobal and...

vGlobal specify the desired new position of the top left corner of the window,

in global screen coordinates.

front is a Boolean value specifying whether the window should be

activated, highlighted and moved to the frontmost plane. It is one of:

FALSE Leave in current plane (don't move to front)

TRUE Move to the front by calling SelectWindow

Notes: This does not affect the window's local coordinates. It moves the GrafPort

to the specified coordinates.

Use front = FALSE to reposition inactive windows within their current

plane. A TRUE value lets you move the window while also selecting it.

Windows are normally re- positioned in response to mouse actions (see

DragWindow). You might use this function in some sort of automatic

window-reorganizing scheme, or after allowing a user to specify numerical

screen coordinates.
