Maximize Window in macro

How to maximize window, using a macro? Without using WindowsAPI

[Villeroy]

The position and size of the WIndow is outside the scope of the office-API. OOo is platform independent. Under WIndows you can call the Windows-API from Basic, but that's not what you want.
A recorded macro dispatching menu:View>Full Screen

Code: Select all

sub FullScreen()
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem define variables
dim document   as object
dim dispatcher as object
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem get access to the document
document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "FullScreen"
args1(0).Value = true

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:FullScreen", "", 0, args1())


end sub

The position and size of the WIndow is outside the scope of the office-API.

Code: Select all

thisComponent.CurrentController.Frame.ContainerWindow.setPosSize(0,0,750,550,15)

Is it "outside the scope of the office-API"?

OK, you are right. It can set it's position and size without knowing anything about the availlable size of the output device(s).

I know my availlable size of the output device. (800X600) But anyway [setPosSize] does not do so, as the WindowsAPI.
What should I do in Ubuntu?

Code: Select all

    thisComponent.CurrentController.Frame.ContainerWindow.setPosSize(0,0,750,550,15)

works if the window is not maximized.

That has been discussed frequently on oooforum.org.

They say that this is not possible.
