get coordinates of window

DaveDesigner

is anybody aware of a command to get the coordinates of a window, such as the CIW, so I can set it in the .cdsenv for future use?

Thanks.

  •  Hi Dave,

    The function you need is hiGetAbsWindowScreenBBox() here is a brief snippet from the docs:

    hiGetAbsWindowScreenBBox(
      w_windowId 
      [g_includeWMOffsets]
    ) 
    => l_bBox


    Description


    Returns the absolute screen coordinates of a window, assuming 0:0 is the lower-left 
    corner of the screen.

    Hopefully this is what you are looking for.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
