Is there any way to set position of another program? This guy (on the link below) asked the same question but for C#, can Livecode do this?

Dobar dan croivo,
you cannot do this directly in Livecode!
Maybe you can do this with AppleScript on the Mac and VBScript on Windows, but I have no idea how.
Best

Hallo Klaus,
Here is how to do that within Livecode..
Put this in a field ( "moveWindow" in my case):
Code: Select all
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Firefox"
set position of window 1 to {438, 22}
end tell
and run this line of code:
Code: Select all
do field "moveWindow" as AppleScript
May be someone could post the same with VBscript?
Best,
Thierry
