Hi,

Is it possible to maximized dynamically the message window ?

[Harrison Pratt]

In TaskWindow do something like this (with some extra manipulations):

Code: Select all

facts
    msgForm: messageForm := erroneous.
predicates
    onShow : window::showListener.
clauses
    onShow(_, _CreationData) :-
        This:setClientSize(1000, 700), % make the application client window a little smaller
        center(), % center on desktop
        MessageForm = messageForm::display(This),
        msgForm := MessageForm, % save for access elsewhere
        MessageForm:setVerticalSize(messageForm::parentRelative(0.97)), % 97% of parent window
        MsgControl = MessageForm:getMessageControl(),
        MsgControl:setLines(5000), % so don't lose early lines when writing to the Messages form
        MsgControl:setFont(vpi::fontCreateByName("Consolas", 10)).

I think you are asking about:

Code: Select all

messageForm:setState([wsf_maximized])

To bring it back to normal/restored state you use the wsf_restored flag.

You should however notice that maximizing is for all the MDI child windows; either the MDI parent displays the child windows maximized or at their "restored" size. There is no setting where some children are maximized and other restored.
