An interesting way to move

Not sure who has messed around with HotKeyNet, but I figured I'd share an interesting way to move your ALTs from your main window. Basically, you click an icon designated for your alt on your main window and it activates their window. You can then control their movement. Obviously, if you have to click on their screen, you then have to move your mouse to their window, but at least this gives you the opporunity to keep your mouse local, move your alts with your normal arrow keys and get them into formation. Here is the script and how it works...

<If MouseIsOverWindowRect Wow1 636 593 27 27>
<SendPC Local>
<TargetWin "Wow2">
<SetActiveBackgroundWin>

So, if you click in that area designated by the coordinates given, it then sets TargetWin Wow2 as the active window. What I did was put Icons on my screen for each character, than then if I want to move them, I click on it and then I can move them without moving my mouse over and activating another window. You can do this with keys as well if that is more to your liking.

I read "SetActiveBackgroundWin" just now and said "Huh?" I had to go to the website's reference section and look it up. :) It was one of those slightly crazy things I added as an experiment and immediately forgot. :)

I like to come up with ideas and then see if I can get them to work, so I went around your reference a bit to see if it was plausible. Works really well, except, when I am holding another key, it kinda doesn't let go if I click my mouse. Example, I am moving forward with my Pally, I then click to focus on my Shaman's window and my Pally keeps on moving. Not sure if it is a bug or how that is supposed to work.

If I understand you correctly, you're describing how the operating system works. It sends key presses and key releases to the focus window. In this case you press a key to make the pally move, and the pally's window receives a "key down" signal from the operating system, so the pally starts moving. Then you change the focus to the shaman's window. Then you release the key. The operating system sends the "key up" signal to the shaman's window. This has no effect since the shaman isn't moving. Meanwhile the pally keeps moving because no signal has been sent to his window telling him to stop.

So, I should add a keyup that gets executed before the switch windows?

If you want the toon to stop moving, yep.
