How to maximize my program's window at start ?

[JoJo]

Hey Guys,

I know how to get the clientarea of the screen and my program automatically uses that information when opened, but it still isn't the same when I press afterwards maximise.

How can I get my window to automatically maximise at startup ? without having to press the button in the right top corner.

Thanks for your ideas.

try something like:

Code: Select all

ShowWindow_(WindowID(), #SW_MAXIMIZE)

I think this api call should be also on the FAQ, which I checked out before writing my request here.

of course not...
And the 20000 other API calls also?
This is not a PureBasic command, there are tons of API resources available on the internet.

JoJo,

Heres a full example:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 234, 140, 600, 300,  #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_TitleBar | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_Invisible, "New window ( 0 )")
  ShowWindow_(WindowID(),#SW_Maximize)

  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

What you really need is the AllAPI guide http://www.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml

Normally a Winmain provides the window showcmd.
Imagne a shortcut with a modified setting.

GetProcessInfo() is required in pb i guess to obtain this value again..
