Run macro upon document load

[NiksaVel]

Hi all,

I was wondering how I could set up a macro to be executed once when the document is first loaded... ? I want to set the ooBase form to fullscreen when it's opened... I have the macro and it works when mapped to a button, but I'd like it to work automagically

Have a look at the Tools>Customize>Events dialog.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

If I understand corrently, this will only work if I have a "stand alone" form saved as a writer document pn the desktop... than I can assign the "maximize to fullscreen" macro to the "open document" and it works... but can I assign this to the forms inside a database?

I have a main "opening" form... and from there I have a lot of buttons which open various other forms inside the same database... I would like to have all of those open in fullscreen...

I found what appears to be exactly the thing that I'm looking for here:

The following macro can be linked to the "when loading"-event in the Form. It will maximize the form to a full screen-form. The macro's after this one are needed too:

But I can't get it to work... I've entered the macro:

Code: Select all

sub onWhenLoading( oEvent as object )
MaximizeFrame( oEvent.Source.Parent.Parent.CurrentController.Frame)
end sub

Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" _
(ByVal lHwnd As Long, _
ByVal lCmdShow As Long) As Boolean

sub MaximizeFrame( aFrame as object )
dim frame
dim window
dim handle
window = aframe.getContainerWindow()
handle = window.getWindowHandle(dimarray(), 1)
REM 1=WIN32
ShowWindow( handle, 3 )
end sub

and I've mapped it to the "when loading" event on the form properties... but nothing is happening... am I doing something wrong here?? Some1 please help out...
