Till now i have seen SetWindowPos or MoveWindow are used to move a child window.But why you don't want to use these methods?Can you explain what is the problem with them?

what is not working properly? where are you having trouble? can you elaborate a little more. I guess these are the only 2 methods which will help you in changing the position of the controls in runtime.

actually i'm using an interface for web browser.i should change the position of that interface dynamically.and moreover, some controls also shuld be changed as same.in my code, i've used both SetWindowPos() and MoveWindow() to do this.but only for web browser,its not moving.i don't know the reason by which its happend?thats why i asked for some other solution.i didn't get any error message, but the window is not placed properly.

The two functions (SetWindowPos and MoveWindow), as far as I know work well. Why are you saying they didn't work properly?

why don't you put that piece of code so that it will be easier to analyse and tell you what the exact problem is.

It simply must be a result of the code you have entered!

I just followed the directions given here[^], for creating an app with a webbrowser control in a dialog.

I just left the default dialog as it was and added a webbrowser control to it. After creating a member variable to access it with, I entered the following code into the event handler code for the OK button. Works exactly as advertised - pixel perfect. Right place, right size..

void CwebBrowserControlDlg::OnBnClickedOk()
{
    MessageBox(L"Clicked It", L"Info", MB_OK);
    m_Explorer.MoveWindow(0,0, 300, 100, true);
    // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here}
