MoveWindow()

[Krauze]

Under what circumstances will this function not work? I mean using it to change the width of the window. I find it kinda weird that this function sometimes works but sometimes not. Anyone could help? Many thx!

// I find it kinda weird that this function sometimes(yes) works but sometimes(no) not. Probably it could be calculated as following :) : needs_to_work = sometimes(yes) - sometimes(no);

If the window is created on a class that doesn't have the CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW styles, you've also to invalidate the window, since it is not done automatically. Use SetWindowPos to have more control on the possible options.

It's possible your target windows prevents resizing or changes the behaviour. For example if it answers to the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message like so:

case WM\_GETMINMAXINFO:
	((MINMAXINFO\*)lParam)->ptMinTrackSize.x = 200;
	((MINMAXINFO\*)lParam)->ptMinTrackSize.y = 150;
	break;

The window will not allow itself to be resized to anything smaller than 200x150 pixels.

And in those instances where it does not, are you calling GetLastError() to find out why?
