Sounds like problem with your window manager not Wine.

I'm sorry not express the problem. I can move the desktop through mouse. But I want to use source code to control the wine Virtual Desktop.

Should I find out the point is window manager not Wine?

From inside Wine? You can't.

I think he means that he wants to set the window position when creating the Virtual Desktop. If there isn't such an option (sorry, but I do not know), you could try to dig through Wine's code and that's probably a one-line change in terms of positioning, while adding the switch code is something larger.

Cheers,

Talk to your Linux Distro folks. Vitamin is correct, Wine cannot change
the position of the Virtual Desktop as it is an X process and X sets
where the window goes.

What exactly do you want to do? And from where? You haven't clearly stated any of that.

Hi vitamin

What exactly do you want to do? And from where? You haven't clearly stated any of that.

My request is simple. Procedures to control my PPT to play in any position.I run PPTVIEW.exe in wine.But PPTVIEW.exe is a full-screen playback.So I can only be used to control the position of wine.

Control how? What you sending it WM_MOUSEDOWN / WM_MOUSEUP events?

This is what I would like to know the answer.At first I thought that wine can use the command line to achieve.Now know that the point of death.By WM_MOUSEDOWN / WM_MOUSEUP events to achieve is a very painful thing.So I have no clue what to do

Same as you would do on windows.
