Thank you Chip!
Unfortunately, I tried to download what I thought was the latest version
of Win32API and it was compiled back in Nov 7, 2019 at 12:13p.
That version does not work with v17.3HF2 32-bit Client (with a 64-bit
server). At least on my end it doesn't.
I also thought I saw someone said Orchard Software was not going to
update the Win32API to work with v17... which is why I'm looking for an
alternative.
I'll have to take a look at the internal 4D Window commands and see what
it takes to convert over the Win32API code to the 4D native code.
I was hoping not to have to do that... as my first look indicates it may
take some time to get things working as they were with the Win32API plugin.
Thank you for your thoughts!

Ken,
I am not sure but I think there is a v17/18 compatible version of Win32api
in addition, there are native 4D commands which do many those tasks,
at least for windows inside 4D,
(not the commands but the areas covered)
Window rectangle
front most window
not sure what restrict does, but you set window types to control window
appearance and behavior
I think you can also get and set default printer - but never did this myself.
