Exist some thing in OSX (cocoa or other way) similar to MSAPI:

FindWindow_(0, win_name.s)
SetParent_(hWnd,WindowID(window))
SendMessage_(hWnd,#WM_CLOSE,0,0)
MoveWindow_(hWnd,x,y,w,h,#True)

Somebody can help with this?
Thanks a lot!

It helps if you explain what those windows api calls actually do.

On OSX you use CocoaMessage.
For example to close a window

Code:

CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "close")

or to add a child window

Code:

CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "addChildWindow:", WindowID(1), "ordered:", 1); NSWindowAbove = 1

Why not with native PB-Function ResizeWindow(...)

Thanks for help.

Screen coordinates are flipped. (0, 0) is the bottom left of the screen.

Set bottom left coordinate of window

Code:

Point.NSPoint\x = 100
Point\y = 100
CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "setFrameOrigin:@", @Point)

Set top left coordinate of window

Code:

Point.NSPoint\x = 100
Point\y = 100
CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "setFrameTopLeftPoint:@", @Point)

Center window

Code:

CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "center")

In regards to Center Window:

Just be aware that your perception of center will probably not match Apple's perception of center.

More info in this thread.
