Maximize XPA without MAX button or system toolbar

Edited

Is there a way to maximize XPA with action inside of XPA? The system toolbar is hidden ... Is there a c# code or some other windows function to do this?
I have tried "call windowMode" in a batch file and it does nothing. Tried "call windowMode" with title and pid and had no success. I also tried winmax(), winrestore() ...

Any ideas if this is even possible?

WinMaximize

Maximizes the Magic xpa frame from where the function was invoked. If the function is invoked in a non-SDI program, the MDI will be maximized and if the function is invoked from an SDI program, the SDI will be maximized.

Syntax:

WinMaximize()

Parameters:

None

Returns:

Boolean True or False indicating success or failure.

Platform specific:

This function is not supported for mobile devices.

Yeah I did test this.

It works, for instance, in the main of the control file.

I need to trigger this as an user event ... So when user clicks on a button or calls a program with this action or a combination of key has been pressed by the user ... That way it does not work.

Adrian,

Which version xpa?

I tested the WinMaximize() function in xpa v4.9, to wit:
  • Create a User Event called Button_Click with Trigger = None, no Parameters and no Exit action.
  • Add a button to a form, configure it to raise event Button_Click.
  • Add a Event Handler Logic unit on Button_Click event.
  • In this logic unit, Evaluate WinMaximize().

Works for me ...

Evaluating this function maximizes the xpa main frame MDI. Are you rather wanting to maximize the child window within the MDI?

Which "system toolbar" is hidden? The main MDI frame's (how did you manage this?) or the child window's?

I am just curious ... 

I have a system event ctrl+shift+1 which did:
evaluate - > winmax()

And it didn't work

Now I have changed this into a virtual variable and put winmax() on init of that variable and it is working.

Why is there a difference??

Sorry ... I have no idead why it wasn't working before ... It is working even with only evaluate ... 
That is some alien stuff right there ... I'll bring out the last night backup. Because it wasn't working! Now it does.

Ok.

If there is only MDI opened, this thing doesn't work, until you hover over a menu. 
As soon as you have a form opened up, it fires immediately.
