Starts or stops moving a window with the mouse.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
WindowSetMoving(windowName, moving)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
;windowName : <code>string</code> – Name of the window.<br />
;moving : <code>boolean</code> – <code>true</code> to start moving the window, <code>false</code> to stop.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
Nothing.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* This is what the client does itself when the left mouse button is pressed on a movable window. Calling it with <code>true</code> works even if the window is not movable (see [[API:WindowSetMovable|WindowSetMovable]]).<br />
* When a move starts, the client records the current mouse position.<br />
* If the window is already in the requested state, nothing happens.<br />
* When the state changes, the client can call the window's <code>OnSetMoving</code> core event handler with the new state (see [[API:WindowRegisterCoreEventHandler|WindowRegisterCoreEventHandler]]).<br />
* Hiding a window that is being moved ends the move.<br />
* <code>moving</code> must be a real boolean. Passing <code>nil</code> or a number raises an ''Invalid Parameters'' error.<br />
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
* <code>Error in function call 'WindowSetMoving': Window %s does not exist</code><br />
* <code>Error in function call 'WindowSetMoving': Window %s is currently locked and may not be modified from lua. ...</code><br/>This check never triggers in the current client. See [[API:WindowSetShowing|WindowSetShowing]].<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
The layout editor starting and ending a move, from <code>easystem_layouteditor/source/layoutcontrolframe.lua</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
function LayoutControlFrame:BeginMoving()<br />
-- ...<br />
self.m_moving = true<br />
WindowSetMoving( self:GetName(), true )<br />
-- ...<br />
end<br />
<br />
function LayoutControlFrame:EndMoving()<br />
-- ...<br />
self.m_moving = false<br />
WindowSetMoving( self:GetName(), false )<br />
-- ...<br />
end<br />
</pre><br />
