Vista - CTP 2 Making the GWPS size and position persist

I have an oversized Taskbar which always overlays the bottom
of the CTP 2 GWPS window. I found I can resize the input
frame and make it persist but I would prefer to fix the problem
by resizing and repositioning the window and making those
changes persist.

Has anybody done this or know how to do it?

I suppose one workaround would be to maintain a startup
script which resized or repositioned the window when it is
opened. I would have to research that possibility too. ; )

Thanks for any ideas.


TIA

I would suspect (hope) that they'll implement such an option at some stage,
but with regard to your workaround suggestion you could do something like
this, which calls the Windows api function SetWindowPos ....


#Size and position window
#-----------------------------
$PositionWindow = Add-Type –memberDefinition @'

<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
Public Shared Function SetWindowPos( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal hWndInsertAfter As IntPtr, _
ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, _
ByVal cx As Integer, _
ByVal cy As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Boolean
End Function

'@ -name “Win32SetWindowPos” -namespace Win32Functions –passThru -Language
VisualBasic

$SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 0x40
$HWND_TOP = 0
$PositionLeft,$PositionTop,$Width,$Height = 0,0,500,300
$PositionWindow[-1]::SetWindowPos((Get-Process –id $pid).MainWindowHandle,
$HWND_TOP,$PositionLeft,$PositionTop,$Width,$Height,$SWP_SHOWWINDOW) |
Out-Null


#-----------------------------



You could add it to your GWPS profile (create if needs be) located at
$profile ie

$env:userprofile\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.GPowerShell_profile.ps1
