Moving da Winamp window

[pi8]

Does anybody know how to move the Winamp window, because i'm making an external application that uses 2 winamps. So when i use the Winamp_Start command (i'm writing in Visual Basic btw), the 2 Winamps open on top of each other, displaying only one.
This is pretty anoying, because everytime you start the application, you have to move your winamp windows around your screen to put them in a handy place. So it would be much better if the windows were already in place.

Thank you!

there is actually a more fundamentally better way to do this. that way is simply to install winamp in 2 different places, then each will have it's own presets, it's own position, and it's own start up gobbeldy gook. This also allows you to have each winamp have it's own plugins..

Using the windows API function:

SetWindowPos

code:


BOOL SetWindowPos(



    HWND hWnd,	// handle of window

    HWND hWndInsertAfter,	// placement-order handle

    int X,	// horizontal position

    int Y,	// vertical position

    int cx,	// width

    int cy,	// height

    UINT uFlags 	// window-positioning flags

   );

Will do it, be careful to maintain the height and width based on the mode of winamp (shade/normal).

Thanks a lot! But i already tried that, the Winamp window doesn't move, it just blinks in my task bar.
I don't know the the height and with of Winamp, so i just gave 0 or 50 or something, but Winamp doesn't resize either (don't need that though).
Is it because i don't know the right size that nothing happens, or what?

Hope you can help me, btw have you tried this yourself?

EDIT:
I've got some extra info:
The return value is 1 (that indicates that is worked), and indeed I see the window appearing in the place a want it to be (I only see the top left cornor appear). But that's just for a couple of milliseconds, then the entire window is back where it was.

So it's like the window is moved and then instantly moved back where it was!

Here's the code i'm using:

SetWindowPos hWndWinAMP, 0, 40, 50, 0, 0, SWP_NOZORDER

(the 40 and 50 can be any values, that doesn't matter right now)
