Powertoys: [FancyZones] Visual Studio child windows don't snap to zone

[rymdkapten]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.1039]
PowerToys version: 0.14 - 0.15
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

Create FancyZone layout, use mouse to drag-and-drop "Solution Explorer" or any other window from Visual Studio (except main window) into a zone.

Expected behavior

The window resizes to the zone accordingly, works in v0.13 of PowerToys.

Actual behavior

The window does not resize to the zone.

In version 0.14 it is still possible to arrange the window by activating the "Override Windows snap hotkeys..."-option and using hotkeys to arrange it into place. Drag-and-drop does not work.

In version 0.15+ there is no option to arrange these windows into a zone.

@enricogior i put this as 0.16, defer to you if we don't have capacity to fix until 0.17

@ChrisRichner lets call this the VS tooling issue

I assume snapping sub-windows from an application has not been resolved ?

Just dragging some additional info from #6176 in here (mainly a workaround)

---

Additional info

A Workaround is to drag out an open document/file so it creates a "document window? / application window?" and then use that window to dock tools in.

1. Drag out a open document/file.
2. Drop the window on a desired fancy zone.
3. Drag the tool and dock it on the "document window? / application window?"
4. From here I can drag the document/file back to the main window or close it, the new window created from this process remains as drop-able on fancy zones.

On a side note, this works for Dell's display manager so it should be possible to make work.

This should be resolved in our 0.21.1 release of PowerToys. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.21.1 to download it.
