Window Maximize event filter

[Priyadarsini]

Hi all,

In my application the user is allowed resize the screen and I am setting a maximum limit. When windows toolbar 'Maximize' button is hit, the screen fills the entire monitor before it is brought back to the custom size - due to Panel Resize notify event and not filter event. Since there is no VI property to set the maximum size, I am thinking of intercepting the Windows Message queue. When I search I got into this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4394. But the message numbers other than what is specified in the example do not work. Any idea on this? Or any other method to achieve the desired functionality?

Thanks,

Instead of use Windows build-in Max button, create a button or customer menu.

Hi George,

The custom button/menu is definitely an option. But the custom button involves a lot of programming to handle windows drag etc. I was wondering if there is any simpler solution as NI has already come to a level to providing a driver to access Windows queue. But I will definitely keep your suggestion.

Thanks,
