How to open a file in full screen mode?

[Rod.V.F.]

Hello guys!! I'm new in forum so please forgive if I commit mistakes.

I got a file that I want to be in full screen mode when I open it. I'm prety sure
that there must have a macro that does it but I'm a total newby in macros. Even bought a book to understand it but it's going to be
a long, long ride till I learn.
Is there another way to archive it other than by macro?
If the only by macro. Which one, and how to use it?

Of course someone out there must know the answer. So please, help me!!

Thanks

The macro Tibor links to works from a control on the sheet. It also hides or shows the row and column headers.

I think a stripped-down version is what is sought here. Assigned to Document Open using Tools > Customize > Events

Code: Select all

sub startFullScreen()

	dim document   as object
	dim dispatcher as object
			
	document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
	dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

	dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
	args(0).Name = "FullScreen"
	args(0).Value = True

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

end sub

As far as I remember, OOo will save the last window state. So open a file in Calc, select it to full screen, then close calc. All Files should now open full screen.
