Controlling the window location of an external app

I've started an application using the process.start idea mentioned a
couple of posts ago. However, I can't find a way for me to control the
position and size of the window that it opens.

The app I'm opening is a web browser which shows an html page created
by my prog. I can open the window is a normal/maximised/minimised
state, but can't see anything to allow me to control the size. Is there
something anyone knows about or is expected that I put the sizes in the
".arguments " section? (and therefore contact the software vendor for
paramater requirements?)

thanks,

Steve

If you can obtain a handle to the window, you should be
able to do this by sending it a WM_SIZE message.

Google for SendMessage and WM_SIZE.

Should work with any resizable window of any application.
Just make sure you get the correct handle.

Hi all, I'm trying to reload a frame from a pop-up, but really cannot figure this out. Within my index.htm file, I make a link to call a pop-up frame with a javascript function that calls the following code from an external javascript source file, dynamically created with PHP document.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);"

Hello! This is my first posting here! :-) I hope you can help me... To sum it up: I have a question about the possibility to influence the execution of JavaScript in another frame. I cannot modify that other frame's code, but it does come from the same server. Therefore, there should not be an issue with any cross-side scripting restrictions. In more detail: I am working with a legacy web-app (strange as this may sound), which...

Hi, I am trying to pop-up a window when the user clicks on an image. The problem is that when the user clicks on the image and the window pops up OK, but the window underneath also proceeds to the image. The desired behavior is that when the pop-up is invoked, I want the underlying window to stay put. I don't have this problem when I run the code on my local computer but I do have it when I run the code on geocities.

So here's the basic premise: I have an html page with a bunch of pictures (pic.html). All of the images are thumbnails of larger photos. I also have another html page which is a pop-up window essentially (popup.html) (it's a standard html page that I've set to a smaller width/height by using javascript). The popup.html page has 2 divs in it, one with the area that I'm trying to populate dynamically with the full size image of the link that...
