I researched this a bit but I couldn't come to any good conclusion on a good strategy on how to accomplish this.

I want my app to always place itself right next to another app (that I didn't write), so when the person moves that app's Window around, my app automatically moves with it. Kind of like it's part of the app.

What's a good strategy on accomplishing this? I know I need my app to a) find the window and b) track the positional events.

Either Mac or Windows strategies I would need; this needs to be cross-platform.
