RepositionWindow

Positions a window relative to another window or a display screen.



 
pascal OSStatus RepositionWindow (

                     WindowPtr window,

                     WindowPtr parentWindow,

                     WindowPositionMethod method);

window: A value of type WindowPtr . Pass a pointer to the window whose position you want to set.
parentWindow: A value of type WindowPtr . Pass a pointer to the "parent" window, as defined by your application. In cases where the window positioning method does not require a parent window, you should set the parentWindow parameter to NULL .
method: A value of type WindowPositionMethod . Pass a constant specifying the window positioning method to be used; see RepositionWindow Constants for descriptions of possible values.
function result: A result code. See Result Codes.

DISCUSSION

Your application may call the RepositionWindow function to position any window, relative to another window or to a display screen. After positioning the window, RepositionWindow displays the window in its new position. See Positioning a Window on the Desktop for further discussion.
