Starting the application maximized [message #634506]

I am trying to figure out how to automatically maximize my application
window on startup. I know there are system properties that I can set,
but is there a more dynamic mechanism available?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

in Application.java I put:

    @Override
    protected IApplicationNode createModel() {
    	
    	Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

		// Get the current screen size
		Dimension scrnsize = toolkit.getScreenSize();


    	System.setProperty("riena.application.minimum.width", "" + scrnsize.width);
    	System.setProperty("riena.application.minimum.height", ""  + scrnsize.height);
    	 
    	 
        IApplicationNode applicationNode = super.createModel();
        applicationNode.setLabel("test");
        
   
        
        return applicationNode;
    }

this is example with properties... you can track in debug how it is done with riena.

Hi Amel,

Just wanted to say thanks for the response.

Here's what we ended up doing -

> @Override
> protected ApplicationController createApplicationController(IApplicationNode node) {
> final ApplicationController controller = new ApplicationController(node) {
> @Override
> public void afterBind() {
> super.afterBind();
> Shell shell = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShel l();
> shell.setMaximized(true);
> }
> };

But this doesn't work on all platforms (although it does work on
Windows, which is our primary).. Your solution may be more general -
thanks!

/Bill
