More to the point, no other application on the Mac does this, so if your
app did this, it would be Weird.
And who wants to use a weird app?
Lots of apps with palettes tend to use floating windows for their
palettes; this way, the palettes disappear when the app is not
frontmost. This makes it unnecessary to force other apps into a smaller
space. (Photoshop and Word are two examples of this technique.) Without
knowing more about the kind of docking window you want to make, that's
the best suggestion I can make.

To be clear, it's obviously possible, as this is exactly what the
Dock does. The issue is whether or not there's a public API for
manipulating this functionality. As far as I know, there's not. :-)

Thank you to all.
The sample will do stick to edge of the screen. But Other
applications should use only screen area left out by this application.
I searched a lot. thinking that this is not possible in Mac, probably.
Any suggestions on this ?
