Hi Nitro, The SetWindowPlacement API is good for controling the movement of the form the Declaration of the WINDOWPLACEMENT structure is a bit wierd in the API Viewer
instead of
try thisCode:Public Type WINDOWPLACEMENT Length As Long flags As Long showCmd As Long ptMinPosition As POINTAPI ptMaxPosition As POINTAPI rcNormalPosition As Rect End Type
I havn't used it too much, it's useful for showing the window and putting it in the right position in one step rather than seing it pop up and then move, it's also good for restricting the position of a window without subclassing.Code:Public Type WINDOWPLACEMENT Length As Long 'Don't know what this does flags As Long 'I reckon this used a combination of the SWP_ flage that setwindowpos uses but I'm not sure showCmd As Long 'Uses the SW commands, like showwindow rcBoundingRect as Rect 'The top left hand corner of the window cannot leave this rectangle when the window is being moved with the mouse rcNormalPosition As Rect 'the windows rectangle as with get/set windowrect End Type
