Maximizing web forms dynamically

Question

Forms 9.0.4(10g), RDBMS 9.2
I am currently using the following code in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE form level trigger to maximize the web form window. Note that the window name is hardcoded.
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('win_main',WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE);
In an effort to standardize this approach and reuse this code for other forms, I removed this code from the above trigger and created a WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED form level trigger. I made the following substitution (hoping to dynamically capture the value of whatever window happen to be "active").
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.EVENT_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE);
This approach seems to work, however, not knowing much about these triggers and my relative inexperience in Forms, I ask the following questions:
(1)Will this approach keep the active window "maximized", as the user switches from window to window in web forms? (2)Is this a 'best practices" approach? (3)How are others handling this issue?
Any other approaches, problems with my current approach or comments are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

First read this thread:<br>
    MDI Window State in web forms
<p>Maximizing the Form's active window is ok -- just don't maximize the Forms_MDI_window. You don't want your form to take up all the space on a user's screen if it does not need to.
<p>I maximize the primary window in the Pre-Form trigger, then use a When-window-resized trigger to keep it that way. Our forms always have a single window named WINDOW0, so this works:<br>
PROCEDURE PLL_WHEN_WINDOW_RESIZED IS
-- Re-maximize the form's window.  If user clicks "Window, Tile" or
-- "Window, Cascade", it causes the form's Window0 to shrink.  So
-- calling this from the form's When-Window-Resized trigger maintains
-- the desired display.
  W0 Window := Find_Window('WINDOW0');
BEGIN
  If Get_Window_Property(W0,Window_State)<>'MAXIMIZE' then
     Set_Window_Property(W0,Window_State,Maximize);
  End if;
END;<p>The above code was written for client/server Forms. Upon testing, I see that window state ALWAYS reports 'NORMAL', even when it is maximized. ...as stated in the other topic. But setting the state to maximize does keep the inner window maximized, anyway.
