Getting Window Position and Size in PowerShell

Question

I am looking for a way to get the current size and position of a window by using PowerShell. I am currently using the UIAutomation ( https://uiautomation.codeplex.com/ ) package to do some other window manipulation so if anyone happens to know how to do it through PowerShell either with or without that package, I would be very interested to know.

Thanks!

Get-UIAWindow seems to have some additional properties that I didn't know were there. Using the BoundingRectange property, I was able to get all of the details about the window position, size, as well as the relative position.

The following will return a lot of data about the window for a Notepad.exe app:

$test = Start-Process notepad.exe -PassThru | Get-UiaWindow #| Get-UiaCurrentPattern -PassThru<br/>

$test.Current.BoundingRectangle
