Autodocking the window at maximum size in an application

How is it possible to dock the window of an application at the borders of the screen - and the task bar - in Windows?
When setting the size ( setSize() ) to the screen size (eg. 1024, 768), I'm enduring a couple of problems;
1. Even though I set the size of the Border and not the Frame, the top of the visible window is still shown some 10 pixels below the top of the screen.
2. I can't get the application to automatically maximize the window, so it docks (makes it unfloatable) - just like when you click the 'Maximize/Restore Down' button in the window menubar (in between the Minimize an the Close buttons) - or as when you double-click the windowbar.
I would guess that the solution for my last problem would resolve the first problem as well - I just wish for my application to always startup with the window docked in full size! Hope someone can help!

The ability to programmatically maximize a frame was only introduced in JDK 1.4.
Someone posted an ugly solution that used the Robot class to programmatically click the maximize icon in the title bar. Search the forums for it if you want to give it a try.
Somebody else proposed to position the window at (-2, -10) or something like that to hide the title bar and make it larger than the screen to hide the the borders.
No real solution until 1.4, I'm afraid...

  • Window resizing and how to keep the window at that size.

    Having trouble with the applications window not staying the same size after I resize it. I know that dragging the corner will resize as well as the green button, but after I close it, it reverts back the small window and not to the resized window after I have done the above. Went to an apple store and no one there knew how to fix it or maybe I didn't explain myself very well.

    I assume you're opening the Applications folder in a separate window through an alias or a Dock icon... if so, just open it, move and resize it the way you want, then immediately close it again. That should do the trick.

  • Can't open the Illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document size

    I keep getting this warning all of a sudden when I try to open any file. CS6 on a Windows machine. Dell Studio 17 that normally screams on any program. Please help asap. thanks

    No one has heard of this?

  • Is there a maximum size for an Application Item?

    I have a pl/sql procedure which inserts some records and has an out variable to return a warning message that I want to append to the normal Success message field in the Processes. Unfortunately I found out that if I defined a hidden variable and used the &P1_SUCCESS_MSG. syntax it would strip HTML. Meaning all the break tags get interpreted literally in the success message. I did some searching and read Scott's recommendation to use an Application Item and that worked like a charm....
    Until today when I kept getting a message that an HTTP 404 error that the wwv_flow.accept page can't be found. I systematically took out each process on the page (about 5 of them) and finally realized it only threw the error when a really long string was passed. Long meaning about 3000 characters (2919 to be precise)- I know because I inserted into my debug table once I knew that was the issue.
    Does anyone know a reason why this would occur? And maybe how to avoid it?
    The string is nothing fany its just a bunch of:
    ** Warning: So and So has been assigned to project ABC for x hours in Period y and is overallocated by z hours ** </br>A validation won't work because its not an error, just an informative message to the user. I don't want to stop submission if I hit the condition. TIA!!

    Scott,
    Thanks for your help.
    I think what you'll need to do is set the message text into an application item using an assignment statement in a page process or in a computation. Then leave the success message for the process null. Then branch to the page and have the page display the message (from the item) wherever you like on the page.

  • Customizing Paging File: what is the recommended initial and maximum size?

    Hi everyone, and Harm,
    Following Harm's response to my question about how to setup disks, Harm said this:
    "disk allocation: It is a three stage process, first you define the boot order in the BIOS, then you format the disks inWindows and allocate drive letters, then still in Windows you setup the pagefile. Then the allocation of media cache, preview, project etc. is done in the preferences and project setup of PR."
    and I have a question about paging file.
    First let me say describe my new machine, it has a 4 disc setup, no RAID, 16GB RAM, with OCZ-Vertex3 for OS & Programs, i.e. i have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on this disc, and Web Premium CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9. In BIOS, i have made the OCZ (OS) disk, be the priority in the Boot order.
    Later, after verifying the system is in working order, i will upgrade to Classic Collection CS5.5, so at this point, i have named my 3 additional disks as such,
    WDC WD 2002FAEX-007BA0 - "Media Projects(D)"
    WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Pagefile, Media Cache (E)"
    WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Previews, Exports(F)"
    So, for now these are simply names, which i have given to the various disks, and now i am changing the paging file, switching it from happening in the OS disk, in order to happen inthe disk which (via Premier, later) will be designated for Media Cache.
    So, in Windows Performance Options pane, I went to Advanced tab, & under Virtual memory I hit "change", uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, select drive E, which is the disk that's to have the paging file happen in it.
    And the question, assuming that i am supposed to select Custom size, can you Harm, or/and others, please recommend the Initial and Maximum sizes?
    Or, should i select "System managed size"?
    Thanks:)

    Keep in mind Video/Animation applications use more ram now than almost any other type and there are far more memory hungry services running in the background as well. Consider the normal recommendations are for standard applications. HD material changed far more than just the need for 64Bit memory addressing.

  • Why does the text size shrink when I make the window smaller?

    I have some notes in a DOCX page.  I don't want the entire page blocking up the desktop yet I want to see the notes.  When I change the size of the page, the text shrinks too.  How useless is that?
    How to I keep the text normal size and have a smaller page?
    Everything I know I learned from my cat. No matter what the situation is, there is a napp for that.

    Hi,
    When we I change the size of the page manually in Word 2013, the text won’t shrinks. I also resize the window via code below:
    Sub ReSizeWinodw()
    Application.ActiveWindow.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
    Application.ActiveWindow.Width = 500
    Application.ActiveWindow.Height = 500
    End Sub
    It won’t shrink the text too. If you are using code to resize the window of Word, would you mind sharing with us some code snippet to help us to troubleshoot this issue?
    If not, I suggest you posting it to
    Word IT Pro Discussions get more effective responses.

  • Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

    I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
    The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
    Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

    I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

  • Is there a way to minimize the window to tray when running OCR?

    I always reduce the window to a size where it doesn't block my desktop, but I would like to send to tray so I can see my entire desktop. I can't even move the window until it is finished.

    Hover the cursor over the right border of the sidebar until you see the double-ended arrow, then click and drag that border to the left to make the sidebar narrower.

  • When opening FF via a link, the window doesn't open maximized

    If I start Firefox with a shortcut I have no problems, but if the browser isn't already opened, and I click a link in IRC, email etc. the browser starts in a window instead.
    Simply maximizing the window and then closing the browser doesn't fix it, since it only seem to remember the window position and size as long as it's not maximized.
    Going into properties of the shortcut and setting it to start maximized (it already is) doesn't change anything, since as I said, the problem is only when opening the browser via a link and not a shortcut.

    That's normal behavior for Windows, I think.
    It's possible there is an add-on to address this specific issue. If not, I wonder whether someone could craft a GreaseMonkey userscript that would be able to ''intelligently'' address this situation (i.e., it has to work on any site, but only if it's the only page open).

    What I did was upgrade the initial portal instance with Portal 3.0.6 with the upgrade scripts first. Then import over to a new instance of 3.0.9 with your old content or data. Then, reran the sso_schema script for rebuilding connectivity to the log-in server.

  • Some webpages resize the window but when the window opens in a new tab, the entire firefox browser is resized. How do I stop this from happening?

    This usually happens when the window is resized in order to fit the smaller content/intention for a webpage.
    I would like Firefox to ignore the window resizing (down sizing) commands when opening a window in a new tab and just display the window in full size.

    Go into ''Tools > Options > Content'' and next to where it says ''Enable JavaScript'', click ''Advanced...''' and then untick ''Move or resize existing windows''.
    This is the only way to do it. I believe there is a bug filed to prevent all sites (by default) from resizing the window if there are more tabs open, but I don't think it has been fixed.

    Hello,
    RFC destination progid created in R/3 should be same in XI system either D or Q system
    In your case check the RFC destination used and progid associated in that and make sure that the same progId exists in the system you want to receive data
    Note : progID is key for receiving data so make sure only one is active at a time.(in your case required D or Q s id in other system change the progid)

  • Clearing the windows clipboard

    I have a non LabWindows CVI application that outputs info to the clipboard and I am pulling the info off the clipboard with my CVI application. I would like to monitor the clipboard to know when a certain operation is completed on the other application and then pull the data and clear the clipboard so that I can monitor it again for new data when it becomes available.
    Is there a way to clear the windows clipboard from inside my CVI application?

    I took a closer look at ClipboardGetText().  It looks like I was wrong about your use of free(CB).  ClipboardGetText() must allocate the memory it needs when you call it.  Your code closely follows the help example for ClipboardGetText().
    I ran your loop under different conditions and could not get it to fail with an error.  I tried running with and without the expected character.  I tried with a single character in the clipboard and with >2Meg of text there.  I tried running the loop while I dumped text onto the clipboard.
    I tried pasting graphics and reading it as text: I didn't get an error on ClipboardGetText(), but I did trying to read CB[0].
    How big is the dataset you're writing to the clipboard?
    Have you checked what is in the clipboard after you get the error?
    ================
     That is why I added the else free(CB): as I thought it might free up whatever memory that was being taken up during the many times that the clipboard is getting checked. The clipboard should only have * in it and getting the clipboard in the loop should not change the size of CB and how much memory that this takes should it?

  • Set a timeout for crystal sessions while using the Windows.Forms.Viewer?

    Hi,
    I am looking for a way to set the timeout for the crystal report sessions when using the Windows.Forms.Viewer in a .NET application. I guess that the default value is 20 minutes (like in the entperprise installations) but we cannot afford to keep many sessions open for that long. Is there a registry entry which can be set? Or even a way to do this programmatically?
    Thank you in advance,
    Stratos

    Hi David,
    we are talking here about a standalone .NET application where the reports are installed locally (like the application itself). We are not retrieving the reports from a server. The whole thing was developed using the crystal report viewer model probably because it was easier to do so. Is there a method in this model to tell the crystal runtime to do the clean-up work either for a report (like the ReportDocument.Close() ) or for the entire runtime instance. Dispose() does not seem to help us. If you say that there is no other way than redesign then we have to consider this option also.
    Cheers
    Stratos
    PS: What I was thinking of (as Plan B instead of using the ReportDocument object model) is to instantiate the crystal report viewer object in a separate process (.exe). Please note that we open a new crystal report viewer windows for each report, which is displayed. Closing the viewer window (ie. terminate the process) will at least then clean up and release the crystal DLLs and hopefully close the database connections. Or am I missing something here?
