Use MoveWindow. Set a shake boundary. So that it won't go beyond that. This must be fast too.

#define Move(x, y) SetWindowPos(NULL,x,y,0,0,SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOSIZE);

void CAsdfDlg::OnOK()
{
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
Move(x,y);
x += 20;
y += 20;
Sleep(100);
Move(x,y);
x -= 20;
y -= 20;
Sleep(100);
}
}

Something like that. :) this is this.

something like :

/// keep original position

for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
// this is your window.
this->MoveWindow( posX+/- random value, posY +/- random value );
}

/// restore original position

Don't use sleep and loops (the window will not get a chance to draw itself) use WM_TIMER instead

RECT Rect; GetWindowRect(&Rect); for(int i=0;i<30;i++) { Sleep(20); MoveWindow(Rect.left,Rect.top,Rect.right,Rect.bottom,1); Rect.left+=10; Rect.top+=10; Rect.right-=20,Rect.bottom-=20; }

hi WHITESKY, As i use ur code in the event LButtonDown . but the application will hang for some time ,upto the execution of for loop the window not get moved(shake) reply early send reply

[Monty2]

As i told you earlier loop techniques will not work in this case, you will have to set a timer using SetTimer then handle WM_TIMER event and in the WM_TIMER event you will have to move the window.

Looking at your post, it seems like you are trying to use it in some Doc/View architecture. The code given above all works, but in a dialog. For a Doc/View architecture, you can use my code above, with this modification: #define Move(x, y) GetParent()->SetWindowPos(NULL,x,y,0,0,SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOSIZE); Notice the GetParent() function. this is this.
