Hello,
I am trying to make a macro for a program called System Locker, it's part of Net Tools. My problem is that the position of the program is different every time I launch it. Is it possible to automatically position it at the same place on my screen?

Look here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/C_Sharp/Q_23556188.html
It's called a RELATIVE position that you should use.

If you maximize it, I think it stays maximized? At least that's what happens normally.

I can't say I understand the problem. Why does it matter in this case that it keeps popping up in different positions? And are you developing the binary or are you trying to make a macro to externally change it's window position at start-up?

Well I guess it depends on what you're using to make the mouse macro, but you can set window positions using SetWindowPos()

That or you can use GetWindowRect() to get it's window rect and use the top left corner to determine where that menu is going to be. If you're using a mouse macro program that doesn't let you do anything other than move/click the mouse you're screwed(though this wouldn't explain how you're opening the program from your macro program).

If you create it with CreateProcess() instead of something like ShellExecute() you can actually specify the start coordinates in STARTUPINFO after setting the STARTF_USEPOSITION flag.

Better idea: have the macro open the program, then press alt>down>enter.

Thanks, I used stone's method because the other ones you guys advised me are a bit to complex for me, but thanks anyway!

Problem solved .
