Moves the control.

Syntax

HRESULT Move(
  [in] double x,
  [in] double y
);

Parameters

[in] x

Type: double

The absolute screen coordinates of the left side of the control.

[in] y

Type: double

The absolute screen coordinates of the top of the control.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

An object cannot be moved, resized or rotated such that its resulting screen location would be completely outside the coordinates of its container and inaccessible to keyboard or mouse. For example, when a top-level window is
moved completely off-screen or a child object is moved outside the boundaries of the container's viewport. In these cases the object is placed as close to the requested screen coordinates as possible with the top or left coordinates overridden to be within the container boundaries.
