Hi,

Apology if this is not the right place to post this question but this is the most related category that I could find.

When running "New window" script step, the currently open window also resized. How can I maintain the currently open window into its original size when calling "New window" command?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi Garry,

You can't. As soon as you 'windowize' a window, all Windows windows will also drop into windows state. The secret is to establish your main window size (in a window'd state) before calling your new window. Then it will remain in place.

Simply, you can't have a maximized window and a smaller window together. Bummer I know ... I come from a world of maximized windows myself. But you can size your main window at startup (although you'll lose a bit of screen real estate). Then all subsequent windows will behave themselves; well, at least as much as Windows is capable of behaving himself.

Got you on that LaRetta, that part is now clear to me. On my layout, I've placed a button that triggers a new window to popup and it works just fine.

However, every click on that button will open a new occurence of the same window. How can I tell that button to just switch to that window if its already on background?

Thanks.

Your New Window script could be something like:

Thanks so much LaRetta. I learned so much from you.
