Catching window move event

[WhoAteDaCake]

Hello, is there a way to detect when a window was moved ? And how to move it programatically.
I noticed that Surface_Move function can be used to move the window, but I couldn't find any code besides LCUIDisplay_BindSurface calling it directly. Binding to "surface" event doesn't get triggered on move either.

Thanks for the help!

In Linux, you can call LCUI_BindSysEvent() function to listen for the ConfigureNotify event, which contains the location and size of the window.

And how to move it programatically.

In the original design, the position and size of the widget will be synchronized to the surface it is bound to, but there is a problem that the window cannot move smoothly, so I cancel the position synchronization.

Can you tell me why you need to capture window move event?

It's for convenience sake. I'm experiment to see if it's useful to open the window back from the same position it was closed in.

So for example if I had my email client on the right side of the window taking up half of the screen, when I close it, then open it again, it should be in the right position, taking up half of the screen

I guess rather than catching the move event, I should catch the close event and save the position from there

OK, I will take this into consideration when I developing the surface module of LCUI version 3.0.
