Hi Michael,
In .net, it is not convinient to implement global hook.
To implement a global hook, you must make the hook proc in a dll
and inject it into every process's space, so I recommand you using VC++
to write your system monitoring application.
To solve you problem, you can use WH_SHELL and in the ShellProc when
the nCode HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED adjusting your window.
I think you must implement all these operation in a win32 dll and export
some
function.
Then in the C# application, you can interop with this dll and inject it
into every
process's space.
If you still have any question, please hesitate to let me know, we are glad
to
help you.
Best regards,

| Well, actually I'm not sure that's what I need.
|
| What I'd like to do is write an app for the tray that can monitor any app
| that gets launched and do a 'window size and position' on it based on
| whatever info is available for it (like say, its command line). This is
| part exercise, and part annoyance rectification.
|
| Any tips on how best to proceed would be appreciated.
