By the handle I assume that you have the HWND of the window. 

Assuming that you have two variables, xnew and ynew, which are the new top and left positions for the window then something like this should do it. 

  ------------
  bool WINAPI NewWinPos(HWND hwnd, int xnew, int ynew)
      {
      bool result = false;
      RECT r;

      if (IsWindow(hwnd) &&
          GetWindowRect(hwnd, &r))
        {
        int wide = r.right - r.left;
        int high = r.bottom - r.top;

        result = 
          (MoveWindow(hwnd, xnew, ynew, 
            wide, high, TRUE) != 0);
        }

      return result;
      }
  ------------
