9i forms_mdi_window maximize doesn't truly maximize Applett window

When I start a 9i Form it pops up in a separate Applett window, and then the form does a:
set_window_property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
However, this does not exactly maximize the Applett window. It just makes it as big as the whole desktop, which incidentally extends the status bar below the Task Bar/Start Menu on the MS Windows desktop.
Manually pressing the maximize button on the MDI windows is, however, able to do a maximize. However, setting it programmatically does not work the same as under 6i (which did it correctly).
Is there a way to actually make it maximize the MDI window programmatically?
Sincerely,
Jesper Vad Kristensen
Aarhus, Denmark.

I think I have a slightly different problem
I can still see the staus bar and message bar and the browser window does not obsure the windows task bar.
The forms window within the java applet does not maximise as it used to in 6i client server.
Previously the minimise/restore/close buttons were directly under the main runtime window (is that the MDI window?)
Now there is an extra window bar underneath the menu and toolbar canvas. It is maximised but doesn't integrate itself into the MDI window as previously.

Maximize the applet window

Hi all. I'm on devsuite 10g. I'm running my form with separateframe=true. I would know if there is something that I can do to maximize the applet window, in which there is my form.
In the formweb.cfg file I have modified the parameters as follow:
width=100%
height=100%
but the window in which there is the form (probably the applet window) is not maximized.
Here is the code of my when-window-activated trigger:
Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
Set_Window_Property('WINDOW1', WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
Set_Window_Property('WINDOW2', WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
Set_Window_Property('WINDOW3', WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
So what can I do???
Thanks all for the collaboration,
Fabrizio

Work-around to maximize a window

Hi
I am using the following code to maximize my windows
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('TOP_WINDOW',WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);however when I run the form via application server, the user still needs to double click the master window title bar to see the default oracle's message bar to see the running count e.g. Record: 1 / ? at the bottom.
if this is an issue with my current version of forms which is Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production), is there a way to replicate the oracle message bar so that it is viewable?

Hello,
This is the default Applet behavior. This maximize property won't work for the web base forms.
In the alternative solution what you can do is you can resize the page length from the Application Server configuration. Decrease the length from configuration then it can fit completely in front of user.

How to maximize a window and can't be able to move it

Hi everyone,
I'm doing an HMI and what I want to do is to maximize a window. I can do it in the VI proprieties -> Window Run-Time Position -> Position: Maximized. The problem I get is when I run it, the user can move the window with the title bar.
I don't want to move the window. The window has to stay at the same place.
Is there a way to do this (without taking off the title bar)?
Thank you
Stephanie

Thanks everyone for helping me!
But it doesn't really help me much....
I want to maximize the window (so in the Window Runtime position, I put "Maximize"). I want a title bar to show the name of the VI (I check the "Window has title bar" in the Window Appareance). I don't want to be able to resize the window (I uncheck the "Allow to resize window" in the Window appareance). When I do the last thing, the window can move and it's exactly want I don't want to do. If I uncheck this option, the user can click on the square and be able to resize and move the window.
Maybe there's an option somewhere in the proprieties that can disable moving the window? Why the window can move if I maximised the window and I can be able to resize the window? When it's a real maximize, the window can't move.
Except with the Toolbox (well, I can't use it anyway, because I have version 8.2), is there any other way to do this?
I'd like to have answers please (event if it's no )
Thank you very much again
Stéphanie

How to maximize a window in Yosemite

Hi. Today I found out that when you click the maximize button in Yosemite, instead of maximize the window to a predetermined space, the window goes full screen. Is there a way to set it back to the previous behaviour? I'm working with two monitors and it's impossible to work this way.
If is not possible to configure this button, can I downgrade to Mavericks? Because it's IMPOSSIBLE to work this way.
Thanks
PD: I'd love to know who is the "person" that came up with this "brilliant" idea :-(

I've found the solution in Yosemite's forum:
Can I restore previous functionality of the Maximize button in Yosemite

What is the keyboard shortcut to 'maximize' a window (not full screen, just maximized)?

I want to be able to use a keyboard shortcut to maximize a window completely instead of holding 'shift' while clicking the green plus circle on a window.

I am trying to close floating windows (effects and instruments) using ALT-W not CMD-W.
Ah, okay, never used that one. Have you checked your *Key Commands* that this shortcut actually still is assigned? Even if it is, it might just help to reassign it (to the same keycombo).
(much later:)
Mm, I did a search of Logic key commands, but I cannot find any command that closes floating windows, alt-W is not a default shortcut for anything... to what command exactly did you assign alt-W?

How do I maximize the window on startup?

I have a when-new-form-instance trigger that calls set_window_property('WINDOW1',WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE) but it does not maximize my window. I am running my form in a separate window . I am running forms10.1.2.0.2 with Oracle express 10g. My formsweb.cfg looks like this:
[myapp]
userid=myuser/mypass@xe
form=myform.fmx
width=750
height=700
splashScreen=NO
colorScheme=Titanium
separateFrame=True
Also, the above works except splashScreen=NO. I am still getting "ORACLE FORMS." on the screen before my form is displayed. Before I set splashScreen to NO, I was getting the Oracle Forms startup splashscreen. So it looks like it took one splashScreen away and gave me a default. I tried configuring so that my own splashScreen (gif file) would be called, but that didn't work either. I must've done something wrong. How do I configure to use my own gif file as a splashScreen? Another question I have relating to running forms with the above configuration: Whenever I close the form, I need to also close the browser. How can I programmatically close the browser window too?

The I figured out to use BACKGROUND parameter to get the gif file to display, but it's coming out as a black square. Is it a problem with my gif file? (I can open it in other tools & it looks OK)

MY photoshop CRASHES when i maximize a window.

Anyone know why the heck this happens?
So everytime im using it, if im working on a project and just maximize the window, the damn thing freaking freezes and crashes and my work is completely gone.
WOW, what the heck. Any solution?

Standard questions:
Have you updated Photoshop
Have you updated your video drivers?
Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in Edit > Preferences > Performance?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would help if you gave us the following System information:
Operating System/version
Photoshop version number
Amount of RAM installed
Hard drive(s) capacity
Make and model number of video card

Weight Watchers Web SiteFood Tracking Page is incomplete when I maximize the window.

I use Weight Watchers e-tools. I have been accessing it using Firefox since January 2011. Within the last month, when I open the Food Tracker window from the home page, it is minimized. When I maximize the window, I cannot see all of the tracking page. The right side is cut off. I now have to use internet explorer to access this page.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Any idea why InDesign CS5 doesn't open fully in Windows XP?

When I try to open an InDesign CS5 file in Windows XP, the application appears in the task bar but does not open in the window. I tried right-clicking the icon in the task bar to "maximize" the window but this has no effect. This problem seems to happen about 60% of the time, at other times it works normally. Any idea what I should do to resolve this issue? -- Thanks

I've no idea why it doesn't open, but I can tell you what worked for me.
I tried the minimise and then maximise option, ending processes that might be conflicting and so on. Then in desperation, I changed the screen resolution of my monitor (right click, propoerties, settings, screen resolution). InDesign appeared and when I changed the resolution back again it was still there.
Give it a go.

Maximizing a frame or applet window

When you set the size of an applet using the setSize(int, int) method in a frame window or specify the width and height in an applet's tag or comment in the source code, the applet or application window is always in the "Restored" state (meaning it can be resized). However, how can I maximize the window to make it automatically fill the screen? Similarly, what if I want to minimize the window? And furthermore, if the user maximizes or minimizes the window and in the source code I try to resize it, will I get a runtime error or will it change the window to the restored state?

// <applet code=mark width=400 height=300></applet>

public void init() {
    smallerButton = new JButton("Size Smaller");

    largerButton = new JButton("Resize Larger");
