    Default Getting native windows and resizing

    Hi all. I would like to know if the following is possible with QT:

    I need to have an app that is able to get all running applications and be able to resize their position, window size and z-order.

    Also if so how would i do this in QT?

    Thanks in advance!

    You'd start the same as if you were not using Qt: You would research what OS-specific API's you need to get a list of running applications and there windows, and how to change the window size and z-order of those windows.

    The GUI you'd write for that app can be done in Qt. Qt can't tell you things like what other apps are running.
