    #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; }

              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.
