Does win32 offer 2 seperate functions for the following?
1.) Resize a specified window
2.) Move a specified window

All i can seem to find is MoveWindow() which performs both actions at once and this is not what im looking for. Thanks!

Couldnt you just change the position related arguments and resend the same size argments? If not there are also SetWindowPos() and AdjustWindowRect() I believe, might be of some help.

Not really but you can write them yourself pretty easily e.g.


 void MoveWindowToXy( HWND wnd, int x, int y) {
 RECT r;
 GetWindowRect( wnd, &r );
 MoveWindow(wnd, x, y, r.right-r.left, r.bottom-r.top, FALSE);
 }

Not sure how you would want to set up a pure resize function that is different than the MoveWindow() API call.

SetWindowPos does what you're looking for. Using the flags SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE you can control which parts of the call are actually done.
