hiMoveWindow

hiMoveWindow(
w_windowId 
l_point 
) 
=> t / nil 

Description

Moves the lower left corner of a window to a new screen location. If w_windowId is a window contained in a session window, the session window is moved.

The lower-left corner of the window itself (without the window manager border) is placed at the new location. The window, therefore, might not appear to be placed exactly at the specified point.

This function is not available in Concept SKILL. For more information, see Design Entry HDL–SKILL Routines.

Arguments

w_windowId

Window, session window, or floating dockable window that you want to move. w_windowID cannot be a dockable window that is currently docked.

l_point

The new lower-left position of the window specified in screen coordinates. This assumes that 0:0 is the lower-left corner of the screen.

Values Returned

t

The window is moved.

nil

The window is not moved. An error message is also issued.

Examples

Moves the lower left corner of hiGetCurrentWindow to 50:100 coordinate.

hiMoveWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow( ) 50:100)
=> t
