Hello to all,
please, I've this problem:
I'm launching another program from Freepascal program through "exec" (under win32). Is any way how to set the position and size of started program (the program doesn't save it's position and size and starts always on the same bad position). So I need code that can set the position and size of another program. Is it possible to do it by Freepascal? Can anybody help me with the code, please?

Thanks a lot

Martin H.

I haven't used Windows in a while, but I think you need CreateProcess() instead of WinExec()

You can to set the dwX, dwY, dwXSize, and dwYSize fields of the lpStartupInfo parameter .

The function is declared in:
C:\FPC\RTL\WIN32\WININC\UNIDEF.INC

and the structures are in:
C:\FPC\RTL\WIN32\WININC\STRUCT.INC

( or where ever your files are )

The MSDN documentation is at:

?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/startupinfo_str.asp </url>

( That's all on one line )
