move popup window

[john tindell]

hey im trying to move a window with a popup style. can some one please tell me if the code im using is along the right lines.

[ccode]
case WM_COMMAND:
{
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
{
ReleaseCapture();
int y(GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam));
int x(GET_X_LPARAM(lParam));
SetWindowPos(hwnd,HWND_TOPMOST,x,y,NULL,NULL,SWP_NOSIZE);
break;
}
break;
}
[ccode]

Why the ReleaseCapture()?
Other than that it looks ok.

i keep getting these errors any idea whats wrong?

c:\C++\wUnTitled\wUnTitled.cpp(17): error C3861: 'GET_X_LPARAM': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup
c:\C++\wUnTitled\wUnTitled.cpp(16): error C3861: 'GET_Y_LPARAM': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

Cheers

okay ive only got this code for it now it seems to work, but it exits straight afterwards.

SendMessage(hwnd,VK_RSHIFT,2,0);

Cheers

VK_RSHIFT is not a message. You need to send a WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP pair and do correct encoding for wParam and lParam.

To solve the errors you must include <windowsx.h>
