Solution 1

Use GetClientRect to find the position and size of the parent. Use GetWindowRect to find the size of the child. Then from those values you can work out where to move the child window in relation to the parent.

Sample code for what? And I don't understand what you mean by Alt+Space; the user should always be able to move windows about the screen.
