now i can help u

your going to need to use APIs to do this. www.allapi.net is great for API
declarations and what each parameter means, you just have to update the
declaration from VB6 to .net, not too difficult...here are a couple websites
to jumpstart your project

http://allapi.net/apilist/FindWindow.shtml
http://allapi.net/apilist/MoveWindow.shtml

i dont kno how you want to find the window, but you could also loop through
each running process using the process class and get the window handle that
way....just takes more time.
