Custom Grid with Desktop App fitin -Windows 10

[WindIt]

Hi ,

I have a 85" inch screen powered by windows 10 and using it for multiple web dashboards and applications to be viewed in lab.

I have used power toys fancy zones, but not addressing the purpose.

I am trying to built an application that can create custom grid on home screen (invisible) and applications that can fit into the grids.

When closed application reinvoked can fit into the same grid automatically.

Ex: 6x3 Grid

Looks like _WinAPI_SetWindowPlacement will allow you to set the Normal, Minimized, and Maximized positions of a window. The help file has an amazing example of how to display and edit the DLL struct for it as well.

Thank you for the +10 points i wanted to ensure the idea is understood so went graphical  

So, any idea on how to get the grids constructed ?   Thanks for WinAPI command will try it.

Any example will be really helpful.

There is no need to draw a graphical grid on your screen as most Windows apps have a frame.  Just divide your screen into identical areas, and use @seadoggie01 solution (or other similar functions, like WinMove for example) to display the application into the proper area.  Start scripting some base code, and if you have trouble, come back with what you have done so far.  We will then be in a better position to help you out.
