All,
I'm attempting to set the size of an ABL window to the maximum size of the work area, when I have the windows task bar set to not hide.
When I use the following code to set the window size, the ABL window is larger than the work area and part of the window is below the windows task bar.
ASSIGN
{&WINDOW-NAME}:WIDTH-PIXELS = SESSION:WORK-AREA-WIDTH-PIXELS
{&WINDOW-NAME}:HEIGHT-PIXELS = SESSION:WORK-AREA-HEIGHT-PIXELS.
If I subtract 44 from the height, the ABL window displays correctly, nothing below the windows task bar.
ASSIGN
{&WINDOW-NAME}:WIDTH-PIXELS = SESSION:WORK-AREA-WIDTH-PIXELS
{&WINDOW-NAME}:HEIGHT-PIXELS = SESSION:WORK-AREA-HEIGHT-PIXELS - 44.
I came up with 44 by maximizing the window with the max button, checking its height via a message statement, then subtracting it from the session:work-area-height-pixels. NOTE: The maximized window always honors the windows taskbar.
Am I missing or misunderstanding something about the work-area?

Thx,

You can set MAX-WIDTH-CHARS and MAX-HEIGHT-CHARS to ? (unknown) and set WINDOW-STATE to WINDOW-MAXIMIZED. OpenEdge will automatically set the size to fill the work area.
DEF VAR ww AS HANDLE.
CREATE WINDOW ww ASSIGN
MAX-WIDTH-CHARS = ?
MAX-HEIGHT-CHARS = ?
WINDOW-STATE = WINDOW-MAXIMIZED.
ww:VISIBLE = YES.
WAIT-FOR GO OF ww.Yes that would work, however, I don't always want the window to open maximized. Part of the problem I'm trying to solve is when our customers are using a screen resolution that is smaller than the window sized. When the screen resolution is such that the defined window size will display completely then we wouldn't want it maximized.
