Controlling external windows

Your application can interact with and control windows from other running applications on the system. This allows your app to manage external windows directly, creating workflows that coordinate multiple applications at once.

Using the external window controls, your application can perform actions such as minimizing, maximizing, restoring, or repositioning windows, as well as setting their size and screen position by updating their bounds.

These capabilities make it possible to build automation tools, window management systems, or productivity features that organize and control other applications from within your app.
