move outside application window to x y coords

[ahoodin]

I would like to launch & or switch to application at x, y coordinates from my application.
I dont necessarily need the application to show up in a child form or anything but
I just need it to show up where we expect it to be. How can I accomplish this?


CWnd* CWndScrnDisplay;
CWndScrnDisplay= FindWindow( NULL, svScreen );
SetWindowPos (CWndScrnDisplay,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_SHOWWINDOW);


Here are my recent attempts to do this. The CWnd comes back unititialized.
Any Ideas?

Try this API call ->

BOOL MoveWindow(

HWND hWnd, // handle to window
int X, // horizontal position
int Y, // vertical position
int nWidth, // width
int nHeight, // height
BOOL bRepaint // repaint option

);

CWndScrnDisplay= FindWindow( NULL, svScreen );
is failing to return the CWnd. I still have to get the CWnd to get at m_hwnd the handle to do that particular API call. Even If I did


void MoveWindow( int x, int y, int nWidth, int nHeight, BOOL bRepaint = TRUE );


I would still need the CWnd.
