I`m working on a anti-hack for a game and want to check if game is minimized or maximized.

  • How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog

    How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog. I have an application which has JDialog box, but in that i should not have maximize and minimize button.If any one come across this problem and got a solution please helpout me.

    Btw, isn't it a little strange to ask thisquestion...
    Actually, I thought it was meant to be sardonic...
    Dialogs don't have those buttons, so the question
    n should be to the OP how did he/she get them in the
    first place? Cuz they aren't using JDialog to do it,
    unless it's something to do with a specific look &
    feel.I somehow missed that, good point :-)

  • Keyboad short cut to maximize and minimize windows

    Hi All
    We are running forms 10g R2 as a separate frame. How do we set up shortcut keys to maximize and minimize windows. To simulate the effect of pressing the square icon on the top right corner. This is key to our user's productivity. Any immediate help is greatly appreciated.

    When I want to get at the desktop with lots of windows open I use expose. The F11 key, or the 4 finger swipe upward will do it (assuming this is enabled via System Preferences).

  • Federated Book showing strange maximize and minimize buttons

    Hi all,
    I've just federated a book (.book file) in WLP 10.3.2 and when it shows up in the consumer the buttons to maximize and minimize appear.
    The behave of the book is as if it were a portlet. As I can remember, it didn't happen in the 10.3.0 version.
    When I put a local book in the desktop instead, this thing doesn't occur.
    Could anyone explain what is happening?
    Thanks in advance,
    Leandro

    Hi
    I've gotten the same behavior. If any one could help, I would appreciate.
    thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Unfortunately I believe you will actually need to change your whole Windows desktop theme in order to change those buttons. Perhaps this link can help you:
    * https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-desktop-window-decorations-changed/b1abd464-8a7f-43fa-ae56-849a974eddd1
    EDIT: The relevant part might be:
    * Right click the Desktop and select Personalize.
    * In the top Themes section scroll down and click Get more Themes online.

  • Maximize and Minimize buttons

    Is there a way to make these buttons bigger? It takes much effort to find these with the mouse pointer. Thanks for any replies.

    You can't make them bigger with anything built in to the operating system. You could try a finder replacement like Path Finder. Another possible solution would be to look at some theme software that let you change the whole look of the windows. I believe there is one called Shape Shifter. You should be able to find both of those options at Version Tracker. I am sure there are some other options but that is all I can think of off hand.
    I agree they are a pretty small target but for me it has become easier to hit them with time and practice.

  • Cannnot exit firefox, maximize or minimize without clearing history. Also cannot adjust desired time on videos such as fast foward, rewind or maximize screen.

    Firefox started acting weird like this two days ago. Like I said, videos are being made to be watched all the way from the start with no option to adjust desired time, as well as the top right X esc button on the firefox browser, maximize and minimize will not work as well until the history is cleared. I just reset firefox and it is still having the same complications. Also before, I was able to center click the mouse wheel to open new tabs and thus it is not working any more. All help is greatly appreciated.

  • Minimize, maximize and close button when there is no border

    Hi all. I have created a login page that has no border around it. Is it possible to get the minimize, maximize and close buttons in the top right hand corner but inside the actual form?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Welcome to MSDN forum.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    If you are working with ASP.NET Web Application, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

  • HELP! I shut down my macbook pro and now after applications have been in full screen mode for awhile they automatically minimize and it takes me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

    I shut down my macbook and now while applications such as safari have been open for awhile, even while active, will automatically minimize and it take me back to the desktop.  How do I fix this?

    I should add that this has happened before and I feel like it was a quick un-toggling of a box in my settings, but I can not remember what to do.

  • Every once in a while, a black box will cover the windows minimize, maximize, and close buttons, and then I can't minimize firefox quickly or easily.

    After a bunch of browsing, a black window takes over the windows caption bar and covers the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. When this happens, I can't close firefox except by accessing the firefox menu. And there is no way to minimize or maximize the window.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • My Minimize, Maximize, and Close Buttons are not functional in Firefox 13.0.1

    I recently downloaded Firefox 13.0.1.. For the past several days the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons located in the top right hand corner have been non functional almost immediately upon starting a browser session. I have tried disabling plugins with no success. I have experienced the same problem when running safe mode. I have attempted to disable hardware accelerators. I have even tried resetting to default settings.. For the record
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 2 GB of RAM as well as Norton Antivirus.. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi <b>rosmaninho</b>
    Can you please start a new thread for your question?
    Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.
    *[[/questions/new start a new thread]]
    *[[/kb/Using+the+Troubleshooting+Information+page]]
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Minimize, Maximize, and Exit Buttons are Missing

    I can not view the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons unless I enter full-screen viewing. I have all add-ons turned off.

    You may not see those buttons clearly if they get hidden by the transparency on Windows 7.
    Right click in a free space on your desktop.<br />
    Left click on Personalization.<br />
    There are four options in Windows 7 at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".<br />
    Select a border color<br />
    Uncheck: "Enable transparency"<br />
