1. Newbie: Win32Lib: moveWindow-?

Hello all,

I'm a "newbie";  I don't program very well, & I don't know anything about
programming for Windows except what I have read in the various Win32Lib
documents. Nonetheless, I'm trying to learn to use Euphoria & Win32Lib to
program for windows, with some small success so far.

I have a question:

I'd like to be able to make one window move "with" another, so that as a
"parent" window is moved by the user, a "child" will follow along with it.
I found the global procedure "moveWindow" in Win32Lib, but I could find no
mention of it in any of the documentation I have.  Can I use that
procedure, & if so, how, or is there a better approach to what I'm trying
to do?

Thanks,
Dan Moyer

This *may* be possible. Do you want them to move at the same time, or is it
ok for the child window to be repositioned after the parent?

David,

I'd think I'd rather have them move at the "same" time, but it should
probably be ok for now for the child to reposition right after the parent.
Easy to accomplish is also important! :)  If starting to move parent
"blanked" child until parent is finally positioned & repainted, moving the
child at that time would seem to be perfectly ok, since that's what it
would look like anyway if they were moved at the "same" time, wouldn't it?
