hello,
I have the following two lines of code in VB6

CabRunmailAppId = Shell("D:\PROGRAM FILES\TELSTAR\TelStar.exe", 1)
CabFilecleanAppId = Shell("D:\PROGRAM FILES\TELSTAR\TelStar.exe", 1)

that I execute to open two Telnet session windows. Right now the windows open one on top of another, and at first glance it looks like there's only one window running. Can the Shell statment be altered to tell the window where to open on the Desktop, so for example, the first Shell line could open the window in the top right of the desktop and the second Shell line open the second window in the bottom left of the desktop?

thanks in advance,
david

can anyone help me with this?
thanks,
david

hi there...

as far as i know, the shell command only launch a program. the only thing you can control if it's run maximixed, minimized or hided, but the position of it it control by the program itself or windows...

Shell returns the process ID of the window that opens, (I believe). You can use that ID with APIs to move either of the windows.

mm.. it's return the task id.. but using a lot of apis you can find the open window of that app. and try to move it....
