IDEA: move small dialog windows to cursor position

<< < (2/39) > >>

jgpaiva:
Let me se.. You want a script that would move every active dialog smaller than a given size to a place very close to the mouse?

that pretty much sums it up. like i say, i've had it working except for the bit about it releasing the window once it has moved it. it would be useful if an 'exclude' list could be used to prevent certain small windows moving maybe - but that defeats the whole point of it.

Although it's not bullet-proof (yet ;)), please check if this is what you're looking for:

.ahk file: http://jgpaiva.dcmembers.com/CS/DialogMove/DialogMove.ahk

great. it's almost there. i'm getting better results with this at the moment:

PredefWinHeight:=600
PredefWinWidth:=600

it does appear to be doing a few strange things - reducing the size of some windows to just their title bars when bringing them back into focus.

the bit about preventing the dialog box jumping to off the screen edge needs to be implemented and it would be a lot better if the dialog box centered itself under the cursor when it makes the jump - providing this doesn't conflict with the opening off the screen edge.

jppaiva, i shall try to understand your script and modify it but i would be grateful if you carried on with this little project.

thanks for the work so far. DC credits will be on their way.

Yes, that was only the test value I selected, it will be costumizable.

That worries me. It wasn't supposed to. I will try to reproduce that.

Yes, as I said, it still isn't bullet-proof, i was only checking if this is what you're looking for.

How about waiting to see if someone posts a better solution?
