December 8, 200718 yr Hi, I have developed a solution on a Mac and it is accessed by both Mac and windows versions of FMP. When moving from one file to another file (ie windows) it works fine on the Mac, however, on windows the newly opened file tends to open within the existing file/window and not full screen as scripted. This is driving my crazy. Is there something obvious that I am missing, or do I have to add the full screen script step into every navigational script to get it to look like the Mac does? Please any help will do....
December 8, 200718 yr It will never look like the Mac does.... The MDI window is not scriptable through FM. You could try something like this: http://www.kevinfrank.com/download/kf_wincontrol.zip The demo file is a .fp5, but if you convert it to .fp7 it will work. It allows you control over the application window. You could also accomplish this using AutoIt, but then you'd have to learn a bit about that language. I think you can do it with VBscript, but I'm not sure, since I only know a thimble full of that.
December 8, 200718 yr You can't use Maximize on Windows, you need to use Resize to Fit. I have a subscript that sets the window size and hides the status. I call that at the end of every navigation script.
December 8, 200718 yr Author Thanks a lot for the info. I will put it into action, and hopefully it should clear up my headaches...
