Re: Catching window move

If the call is done from another app, all you can do is respond to WM_MOVE and PostMessage
a request to put it back where it was.

Hi, Joe!
But what about preventing moving using code, such MoveWindow or
SetWindowPos? Note, such calls might be done also from some other
application!

First, handle WM_NCCHITTEST. If the superclass returns HTCAPTION, return
HTNOWHERE. This
will disable mouse dragging (also double-clicking on the caption bar to
maximize it). Then
handle the OnSysCommand (there's already a handler for this) and if the
case is SC_MOVE
(you need to add this) return without calling the superclass.
