WINDOWPLACEMENT and Maximized View

[robertzp]

Hello,

Tried to find an explanation for this behavior in the forum but could not find an answer.

The GetWindowPlacement and SetWindowPlacement code using the registry works fine.

The application always starts with the last shown window.

However, if the user maximizes the view, any attempt to resize the maximized view automatically restores the window to the last window size!

If the window is NOT maximized, user can resize normally by dragging on the window corners.

Is this normal behavior?

Thanks

AFAIK, yes, it is.

A window has 3 states - maximized, minimised and 'normal'. Only a 'normal' window can be resized. A window's state can be changed between the three, but when changing to 'normal' the window is first restored to its last size/position.

I also noticed that moving the maximized window is like clicking on the Restore Down button!

Thank you Victor and 2kaud.
