Antonio,

Thankt that is correct. The problem why I thought this is not the correct value is that I added to oWnd:nLeft, but this value is nagative.
Can you try this sample. Here I get the value -8 instead of 0

Code: Select all Collapse

#include "FiveWin.ch"
func test()
   local oWnd
   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE 'Test'

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd MAXIMIZED on init(msginfo(oWnd:nLeft))
return

Why is this not 0?

Marcelo,

You can change the height and witdth of a dialog with oDlg:nWidth and oDlg:nHeight
You can also get the height and witdth of the dialog calling those.

Marc,

thanks for your response, but I talk about other metrics, like the caption of dialog

Marc,

-8 is ok for a maximized window, as Windows places the left border of the maximized window out of the visible screen

Marcelo,

It seems that Windows API function SystemParametersInfo() lets change some of the system settings. We have never tested it.
