I am using OpenCV 3.3 on a Win10 platform with C++.

Is there a way to enable the mouse to move a window shown with Imshow? I do see that there is a mouse callback function nut that seems more targeted at using mouse events to control an app rather than simple window control.

I wonder if this is something I am missing because this seems elemental.

If a callback function is required, any example code for moving a window appreciated.

Here is the relevant portion of my code:

    namedWindow("CPU window", WINDOW_NORMAL);// Create a window for display.
    moveWindow("CPU window", 0, 250);
    resizeWindow("CPU window", 1920, 1080);
    imshow("CPU window", tImage.MaskFrame);
    cv::waitKey(30);
    _getch();

Thanks

Can't you move imshow windows by clicking and dragging on the title bars?

Or are you talking about this: https://opencv-srf.blogspot.ca/2011/1... ?

You can simply drag the titlebar, or use the standard right click on the icon and then click move.

EDIT: Merged duplicate questions.

Doesn't work. You can't select the title bar. Could be that I am using getch/waitkey? How else would you keep the window up?

That's abnormal behaviour. The whole point of waitKey is to let you move windows around before they disappear, which only occurs when a key is pressed. Are you using the latest Visual Studio Community Edition 2017? Did you use the pre-built .h/.lib/.dll files, or did you build them yourself?

I am using VS2013 and built the libraries myself. VS2015 and 2017 did not work with CUDA 8.0.

You've done everything right, it seems. Are you running in a virtual machine, just curious?

No virtual machine. Thanks for any insight.

Do you have an alternative OS to try it on? I'm running Mac OS X, but I also have an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine, and a Windows virtual machine. I use VirtualBox, from Oracle. You could always try the Ubuntu Linux virtual machine route, to see if works. If it does work in Ubuntu Linux, then I'd say there's a bug in your Windows graphics drivers. What a pain!

Is your waitkey still running? Once it lets go, you can't move it any more. Try using waitKey(0).

Yes, let's see your code.

Making waitkey(0) and deleting the getch call did it. Thanks very much.
