Dim x As Integer,y As Integer
AppGetPosition x,y,0,0,"Program Manager"

Sub Main()
Dim x As Integer,y As Integer

Note

The position and size of the window are returned in twips.
The name$ parameter is the exact string appearing in the title bar of the named application's main window. If no application is found whose title exactly matches name$, then a second search is performed for applications whose title string begins with name$. If more than one application is found that matches name$, then the first application encountered is used.
