Ah, ok. There are some new Quatz functions in Leopard that enable getting the bounds of any window: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/CGWindow_Reference/Reference/Functions.html Though the problem remains: There's no public way on OSX to get a reference to a window object from another process. One process has a list of it's own windows but there's no way to pass windows between processes to attach something to it. Though looking at what I can gather, there seems to be some functionality (including the one above) in Leopard that hints for better window/view sharing support between applications: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/583202/mac-os-x-can-one-process-render-to-another-processs-window There's a NSWindowSharingType that you can set to NSWindowSharingReadWrite but there doesn't seem to be anything you can do with that right now besides preventing your application from appearing on screenshots. Maybe there's more to come in Snow Leopard?
