WM_MOVE

The WM_MOVE message is sent after a window has been moved.

WM_MOVE 
xPos = (int)(short) LOWORD(lParam);    // horizontal position 
yPos = (int)(short) HIWORD(lParam);    // vertical position 
 

Parameters

xPos

Value of the low-order word of lParam. Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the client area of the window.

yPos

Value of the high-order word of lParam. Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the client area of the window.

Return Values

If an application processes this message, it should return zero.
