Detect when a Window has stopped moving?

Question

Does anyone know how to detect if a Win32(c++) window has stopped moving?

WM_MOVE detects when the window is moving, but how does one detect when it has stopped moving?

Answer 1

The windows message you wish to handle is WM_EXITSIZEMOVE.

Depending on what you wish to accomplish, there's also the possibility that you might be better served by reacting to WM_NCLBUTTONUP, which is sent when the mouse button is released in the non-client areas of a window, such as the title bar of any window with a caption, border chrome, etc.
