Window automtically resizes .... ?

[ron G]

I am using FM 12 Adv v 1 (v3 is too buggy)

 

My app, when running in Windows has this characteristic:

 

If the user 'maximizes' the FM window and then maximizes my app window, when the app opens a new window, it causes the app window to shrink to it's "pre maximized" size.

 

Specifically, in debug I can see that it is the New Window ["Reset Setup"; Heigfht: 10; Width 10; Top 3000; Left 3000; Style Document] command.

 

Any ideas?

Update:  I figured out that right before the Reset Setup window is opened, I collect $height, $width, $left, and $bottom and then after the Setup window is finished, I go back to the main Membership window and 'resize' it according to the local variables. 

 

There is some 'screen flicker' but I suspect that I can mess around with the elusive 'freeze window' command and get rid of that... Or, is there a better way?

 

Always willing to learn.  Hope this helps someone else..

This is a very old issue with the Windows platform. You cannot maximize a window in Windows, and then open another window on top of the maximized window. This will cause the maximized window to resize to whatever dimension it was before it was maximized.

 

The solution is to resize to fit and never maximize.
