Maximize Writer window

[AndrewZ]

I am looking for a cross-platform (Linux/Windows) method to maximize the Writer window equivalent to WIN32 API's ShowWindow() with SW_MAXIMIZE.

I found previous discussion on http://www.OOoForum.org . There was discussion that in 2.0 there would be a way to do this, but then it turns out the announcement was wrong or misunderstood.

I thought I'd try one more time.

The best that I have seen is to use ".uno:FullScreen" with a dispatch. This will toggle full screen and not full screen (which is not the same for sure). Another solution was to explicitly set the size yourself, something like this:

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

Sub reSize(X As Integer, Y As Integer)

Dim aSize As New com.sun.star.awt.Size

aSize.Width = X
aSize.Height = Y

thisComponent.CurrentController.Frame.ContainerWindow.setOutputSize(aSize)

End Sub

I have been looking through the source code for OOo 3.0, and it has support for some VBA structures. It may be possible to minimize and maximize using a VBA concept. The FullScreen dispatch is really meant for presentations (at least that is my opinion), and it obscures the entire screen, which is a little more than you usually desire (you want to see the top and bottom lines as well as the program title bar).
