ObjectDock has that option built in. I am unaware of any other apps that do so.

To be clear, you wanta an app that can say only let application X open in this space or do not let any application open in this space?

Well an application that does this would be good. But I am making own applications in Visual Basic and I want an application that reserves a part of the screen. Like ObjectDock. So basically I would like to know how ObjectDock can reserve a part of the screen?

You can use WindowFX to set a position and size for a maximized window leaving space free. Would that be useful?

WinFX prevents all apps from using a space . . that would prevent the space you want to use for your custom app too.
