It's declared in headers/private/interface/WindowInfo.h and implemented in InterfaceDefs.cpp . Should be able to access it by just copying the associated declarations for now though, with the obvious caveats about compatibility risks of using private APIs, but until we add a public one for it that's unavoidable.
Forgot to mention... you can of course use only public APIs, i.e. scripting just like the YAB app did it ("hey" only uses public APIs). You'd have to study the BeBook chapters on scripting a bit, and then translate your hey script into C++ calls using the scripting API. You can also try to search for the implementation of the private APIs that Deskbar uses, and find out whether this implementation in turn only uses public APIs and then copy it, if need be. May result in the same thing. But code duplication is never a good thing, so sending a patch that moves the features into BRoster is probably what's best for the project. :-)
