Hello,

I'm trying to reposition a PuTTY session window and having a difficult time at it. It's a telnet/ssh client

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

The window will allow me to position the top, left but the width and height will not resize.

Code:
Window position,#PuTTY,0,0,1200,400

I know this is right and the window receives the message but as I said it will not resize.

When I resize it manually it does it by rows and columns i.e. 12rows X 112columns. But if I look at the window via window spy it show the 923 X 228


Any ideas?

Perhaps the window needs to be sent a refresh message. There is an
API message you can send to do this; try searching for it. I hope this
was helpful.

I dont think it's a refresh problem. what I ment about the following statement

"12rows X 112columns. But if I look at the window via window spy it show the 923 X 228"

was 12 rows x 112 columns = 923 x 228 pixels. Also when I send a message to the window I can see it blink as if it were being redrawn. Window iconize, Maximize, normal all work but for some reason it wont resize.

Does anyone know what the API is to resize windows?

SetWindowPos() in user32.dll.

I had to make a util to resize some apps with this (using VDSug.dll) in VDS 3.
