VB Shell Command: Position Window?

[diver]

I am firing up a small exe file from within my VB application.

The Shell command works just fine.

However, it does not allow me to *position* the exe on my screen. I would like to pass it parameters, like an x/y position, etc..

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

Willing to use some API?????
Try the following...

Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

Private Const HWND_DESKTOP = 0

Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As Long

'Right After Shell command write the following..
Dim tHwnd As Long
tHwnd = GetForegroundWindow
SetWindowPos tHwnd, HWND_DESKTOP, 200, 200, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE

Tell me if it does...

Works like a charm .
Thanks a million.
The only thing I changed was the x,y coordinates,
and I made my windows HWND_TOPMOST, because I did not want the user clicking on my form and making the newly fired executable "disappear" if you know what I mean.

YOU THE MAN (API Man, that is)

Thanks
