Maximize the main window...

[garios]

Hi there!

I've been struggling trying to maximize the main window every time the app starts.

I tried to override the onPostStartup and onPreWindowOpen to get a reference to the application window and adjust it's preferred size to the screen size, but it doesn't work.

Like this:
Application.instance().getActiveWindow().getContro l().setPreferredSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().g etScreenSize());


Any ideas?

JFrame has a method to set the window maximized

[Demo]

Don't know whether you find a solution, I override onWindowCreated method in my LifecycleAdvisor that extends DefaultApplicationLifecycleAdvisor:

    public void onWindowCreated(ApplicationWindow window) {
        super.onWindowCreated(window);
        window.getControl().setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
        myApp = super.getApplication();
    }

setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH) is the magic!
