    Default Retrieve other windows geometry

    Hello,
    I want to retrieve geometry from other open windows (another programs windows) i.e. x, y ,width, height (ideally I would like to retrieve window controls position (x, y, w, h) ). I know that I can do that in OS API way, but I wonder if there is an platform independent / Qt way of handling this problem?

    Regards

    Qt doesn't handle any external apps.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
