Tom wasn't saying you should do exactly what CMDIFrameWnd does, only
suggesting you might take a look if it contains some of the logic you need.

I'm not sure what type of answer you expect. We understand what you want.
Tom suggested how you could get the size of the screen and which function
you could use to position each window. It sounds like there's no routine to
do what you want--you'll need to write it. What other information do you
need?

If it is finding all the top-level windows, check out GetWindow(). You'll
need to experiment with that as there are a few gotchas with applications
that do odd things.

I need to tile windows on desktop. I do not need to change their sizes.
CMDIFrameWnd class does not contain any tiling code, it tiles child
windows
using WM_MDITILE command that invokes built-in tiling mechanism for MDI
children.

Are you tiling within a frame or on the whole desktop? Either way you'll
probably just have to move the windows around and resize them to the size
that makes them all fit.

You could look at the source code for the CMDIFrameWnd class in the MFC
source.

I need code that can take an array of window handles and tile windows.
There
can be any number of windows that need to be tiled. Window sizes are
the
same
and do not need to be modified, only position.

I would start by getting the system metrics of the screen (size) then
just
position the windows using SetWindowPos().
