Syntax

WinSize width,height [,window_name$ | window_object]

Description

Resizes the given window to the specified width and height.

Comments

The WinSize statement requires the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

width,height

Integer coordinates given in twips that specify the new size of the window.

window_name$

String containing the name that appears on the desired application's title bar. Optionally, a partial name can be used, such as "Word" for "Microsoft Word." A hierarchy of windows can be specified by separating each window name with a vertical bar (|), as in the following example:

  WinActivate "Notepad|Find"

In this example, the top-level windows are searched for a window whose title contains the word "Notepad". If found, the windows owned by the top level window are searched for one whose title contains the string "Find".

window_object

HWND object specifying the exact window to activate. This can be used in place of the window_name$ parameter to indicate a specific window to activate.

If window_name$ and window_object are omitted, then the window with the focus is resized.

This command differs from the AppSize command in that this command operates on the current window rather than the current top-level window.

Example

This example runs and resizes Notepad.

Sub Main()

  Dim NotepadApp As HWND

  id = Shell("Notepad.exe")

  set NotepadApp = WinFind("Notepad")

  WinSize 4400,8500,NotepadApp

End Sub
