Open the Calculator and then run this...

Code: Select all

r=FindWindow_(0,"Calculator") ; Is Calculator running?
If r=0 ; 0 = Nope!
  Debug "Calculator not running!"
Else
  GetWindowRect_(r,win.RECT) ; Get Calculator's dimensions.
  x=win\left : y=win\top ; Get X and Y positions of Calculator.
  w=win\right-win\left : h=win\bottom-win\top ; Get width and height.
  Debug "X="+Str(x)+", Y="+Str(y)
  Debug "W="+Str(w)+", H="+Str(h)
EndIf

PB:
MoveWindow()
ResizeWindow()

API:
SetWindowPos_()
MoveWindow_()

You should read some documentation
if you want to be a programmer.
