Moves or resizes a control.
ControlMove X, Y, Width, Height, Control, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText
Type: Integer
If either is omitted, the control's position in that dimension will not be changed. Otherwise, specify the X and Y coordinates (in pixels) of the upper left corner of the control's new location. The coordinates are relative to the upper-left corner of the target window's client area; ControlGetPos can be used to determine them.
Type: Integer
If either is omitted, the control's size in that dimension will not be changed. Otherwise, specify the new width and height of the control (in pixels).
Type: String, Integer or Object
The control's ClassNN, text or HWND, or an object with a Hwnd property. For details, see The Control Parameter. This parameter is required; that is, it cannot be omitted.
Type: String, Integer or Object
If each of these is blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. Otherwise, specify for WinTitle a window title or other criteria to identify the target window and/or for WinText a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility).
ExcludeTitle and ExcludeText can be used to exclude one or more windows by their title or text. Their specification is similar to WinTitle and WinText, except that ExcludeTitle does not recognize any criteria other than the window title.
Window titles and text are case-sensitive. By default, hidden windows are not detected and hidden text elements are detected, unless changed with DetectHiddenWindows and DetectHiddenText; however, when using pure HWNDs, hidden windows are always detected regardless of DetectHiddenWindows. By default, a window title can contain WinTitle or ExcludeTitle anywhere inside it to be a match, unless changed with SetTitleMatchMode.
A TargetError is thrown if the window or control could not be found.
An OSError is thrown if the control's current position could not be determined.
To improve reliability, a delay is done automatically after each use of this function. That delay can be changed via SetControlDelay or by assigning a value to A_ControlDelay. For details, see SetControlDelay remarks.

Demonstrates how to manipulate the OK button of an input box while the script is waiting for user input.
SetTimer ControlMoveTimer
IB := InputBox(, "My Input Box")
ControlMoveTimer()
{
if !WinExist("My Input Box")
return
; Otherwise the above set the "last found" window for us:
SetTimer , 0
WinActivate
ControlMove 10,, 200,, "OK" ; Move the OK button to the left and increase its width.
