Rev 2.6.1

Greetings,

How do you find out if a stack is maximized? I found how to determine
if it's been minimized(or iconified) by checking for "mode" 12, but there
is no "mode" for maximized.

Does anyone know of a way to determine if the stack is maximized?

Thanks in advance,
-Garrett

Hi Garrett,

try:

Code: Select all

if the iconic of this stack is false then 
  put "stack is maximized"
end if

All the best,

Malte

Hi Malte,

Thanks but that won't work either. If iconic is false, it just means that the
stack isn't minimized, not that it's maximized.

If it's not minimized, it could be maximized, or in it's normal state.

I think there is no way to query that in rr...

Wouldn't the maximized rect be the same as the windowBoundingRect?

Hi Richard,

I don't know, but I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks

Gave it a try. Here's the results when I maximized the stack on OS X:

Stack Rect: 10,48,1270,939
BoundRect: 0 ,22,1280,949

on Windows XP:

Stack Rect: 0,19,1280,740
BoundRect: 0 , 0,1280,740

On Windows XP at least the width and height match the boundingrect
with and height. But on OS X the numbers fall shy of about 10 pixels
each. And the stack reflects this also as it does not maximize to touch
the menu bar, Dock or sides of the desktop.

Odd, and not reliable I think for testing the maximize situation

At least in Windows I could use an api to test this, but I have no clue if
OS X has an api for this, and even if it does, I have no clue how to call
external api calls from the OS itself from Rev.

I also browsed the docs to see if there was a way to find out if the Max/
Zoom box is being pressed, but no message seems to exist for this
either

Thanks,

Garrett,

On the mac you are getting the difference between the menu tool bar and the full screen size available. This is reliable.

On windows you are getting the start bar.
