Client Maximizing

[Sindrom11]

I need to maximize my client window,
i used the ShowWindow function
inside the CWnd::OnCreate to maximize
the frame window, but still there is to maximize
the client one.

thanks

Hi Sindrom11,

Try to find in your sources code like that:
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
and replace line found with the next line
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);



Best regards,

Even I have the mainframe window maximizing issue.

My mainframe window not opening in fully MAXIMIZED mode when I run my application
( Note: It is a single child mainframe application ).

I am calling this below line of code in my OnCreate function

   this->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);

but still the window opens in less width and height and it is not occupying the entire screen.

Any changes to be done in the code?

Have a look at your app class InitInstance method. Somewhere near the end of this method should be the lines like

	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
	return TRUE;

Replace the

m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

with

m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
	cs.style &= ~WS_THICKFRAME; 
	cs.style &= ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX; 
	return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

You may try to handle WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING message

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
	cs.style &= ~WS_THICKFRAME; 
	cs.style &= ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX; 
	return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

Thanks a lot .. This is working perfect!

Thanks. The solution mentioned in other post ( handling in precreateWindow() function ) worked so did not try this.
Will keep this in mind incase if required in future will use it.
