HERE IS A GOOD ONE - CASCADE WINDOWS IN A GROUP

sailor dude · Post by **sailor dude** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:08 pm

I am writing a macro and opening 10 instances of IE going to various websites.

How can I cascade or tile these IE windows without changing the other open windows?

I am running WinXP

Thanks in advance

Can you use TABS instead of tiling?

Available in Firefox, Mozilla for a few years.

Now available in MSIE 7.0

============================
If must stay with multiple individual sessons of MSIE then try this:

Right click in clear section of Task Bar.
Select Cascade/Tile Hor/Tile Vert

Sorry - I am stuck with IE6 - company policy.

I do not want to tile or cascade all the windows only the IE windows in the group on the taskbar.

I suppose I could individually move and resize the windows.

You could use MoveWindow and use a formula to change X,Y values by adding a constant to make them tile where you want them.

A rough skeleton to make into script:
---------------------
Count the windows to be cascaded = count
n=1
constant=30
Loop through the process "count" times
MoveWindow>WindowName"n",X+constant,Y+constant
n=n+1
if n>count then stop loop
----------------------------------
Above is definitely not correct, but to point you in direction.
