In my script, I want to suppress certain dialogs of my own (i.e., just not show them) when some program -- whether it's a media player, a game, or a web browser -- is in full screen mode. Is it possible to detect this in a general way? Note that the program is not necessarily in some exclusive Direct3D mode, but has only taken over the entire screen. (Just knowing whether the windows taskbar is visible would be helpful.)

thanks

I hope this isn't too much to throw at you, all at one time.

I'm making the assumption that you can get the title of the window, or some other way to choose it from all the others open at the moment.

There is a (sub-command) withing WinGet that can give info on min/max status
MinMax: Retrieves the minimized/maximized state for a window.

thanks. the monitowrorkarea looks promising. I'll report back once I've had some time playing with it.
