I can't understand what do you mean by this. What you are trying to do? What you have acheived? Regarding which you need help? Can u post any code snippet?

You have to use the mouse or low-level calls on the base device. IIRC, we don't have such methods in Irrlicht.

well, if you're writing for windows, you can use the win api :

Code: Select all

MoveWindow(windowhandle, pixelsX, pixelsY, windowsizeX, windowsizeY, redraw?);

you can search MSDN for the function.

the windowhandle can be obtained the following way (the example is for OpenGL, else check the Irrlicht reference)

Code: Select all

HWND winhandle = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(driver->getExposedVideoData().OpenGLWin32.HWnd);

pixelsX and pixelsY are the new position of the top left corner of the window.

windowsizeX and windowsizeY are the size of the window when you were creating the device;

redraw should be true.
