Detect Windows 8 Snap

[poohpooh]

Hello,
Windows 8 has a thing where you can have a app snapped to the side of the screen
while in desktop at the same time as a metro app.
i wanted to know if there was a way for me to detect if there is a app snapped to the side.
an if there is set the window of say notepad to the full size of the shown desktop size.

Anyone? Anyway to do this?

Hey I had a quick look at that. But that seems to be for the metro apps.
Not sure if that would work from a program running from the desktop

You may search from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh920511(v=vs.120).aspx#windows_runtime_classes

If it do not find from there I would advice checking for screen size (might be named differently) and adjusting to it accordingly.

And this thread I think should be in Windows Programming not in General C++!
