Window Controller V 1.01 January 5th, 1996
MANUAL
Installation Hints:
===================
When you plan to use Move_it from Dos Batch Files, you must specify the
full path for the program or copy the program into a directory in your
Dos Path.
Parameter Reference:
====================
1) WMoves: This program accepts 0 or 1 parameter:
WMoves file
File denotes either a new file for saving or a previous by WMoves saved
file.
2) Move_it: This program accepts 0, 2 or 3 parameters:
Move_it
Without any parameter shows the current Window Titles
Move_it * | WindowTitle x-pos y-pos
The asterisk specifies the own Window Title and is the preferred
method for moving the current task. To move another task you must
specify the excact title of this task, case is significant.
X-Pos, Y-Pos are the new task position in pixels
Move_it * | WindowTitle WMovesDataFile
The asterisk specifies the own Window Title and is the preferred
method for moving the current task. To move another task you must
specify the excact title of this task, case is significant.
WMovesDataFile denotes a file (with complete path) for a previous
by WMoves saved file.
Note a) Move_it will start from a dos session, but you can't use the
asterisk, because this would affect the newly started OS/2 task.
b) When the Window Title contains spaces, use either a ? as space
substitution or enclose the WIndow Title parameter with double
quotes.
c) When using the WMovesDataFile generated by an unregistered
version, there is a 15 second delay. No other restrictions exist.
Usage:
======
Start WMoves from it's folder.
The left Listbox shows the currently running programs. Simple
clicking on an entry copies the information to the right listbox.
Whenever you move any other window on screen, the new positions are
update in both listboxes upon return to WMoves. When you are
satisfied with your arrangement,remember to save the right listbox
to a file via the File -> Save dialog.
If you want to switch program language from default english to
german, select language from the Options Menu and click on german.
After registering you must enter your name and key exactly as shown
in the Options -> Registration dialog. This will enable a Bonus Menu
entry, which allows you precisely control over the position of other
windows on screen.
Ordering Info:
==============
See Order.Doc
Known Limitations:
==================
Some programs can't be moved for less than 8 pixels in x-direction.
Depending on your graphic card it is sometimes necessary to refresh
the screen when using a wps enhancement utilitiy such as NPWPS
WMoves requires Write Access to it's installation directory.
WMoves Bonus feature can't move a Window to another virtual screen, eg.
when using Object Desktop.
Move_it will move a window to another Object Desktop virtual screen,
but you must compute the y-value with the following formulas:
y = old-y value + 2 times y-screen resolution for moving up
y = old-y value - 2 times y-screen resolution for moving down
(x remains the same value)
