The design I had planned for bars won't work for the other cases.
That is because PowerPro knows when bars are created, moved or hidden,
but there is no way that I know of to tell this in general for other
windows.  (Well, it does know it for notes too, but these have other
issues -- see below).

Hooks will tell you if a window is moved by dragging, but not if it is
moved programatically.  Also, AFAIK, they won't tell you have a window
is hidden or becomes visible.

The only way I know to do it in general would be to use a polling
check against a list of pre-registered windows.  You could write a
script for this. 

Another problem with notes or other non-bar windows is you have to
deal with the issue of how to identify uniquely a participating
window.  With notes or any window where the caption could change or
not be present when the window is first created, you have a
challenge.  Of course, you can use window handles once they are known,
but since they would change each time you used the window, I don't see
how to make a useful interface for locking based on window handles.


If you have any thoughts on how to solve these problems, I can look at
writing a more general approach.
