 Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 2:05 pm Post subject: Get Windows Maximize State From Its System Menu |
 |
|
Can anyone see why this isn't working?
| Code: | Sleep, 3000
WinGet, WindowID, ID, A
SystemMenuHandle := DllCall( "GetSystemMenu", "UInt", WindowID, "UInt", (NULL:=0) )
VarSetCapacity( MenuItemInfo, 48, 0 )
NumPut( 48, MenuItemInfo, 0 )
NumPut( (MIIM_STATE:=1), MenuItemInfo, 4 )
DllCall( "GetMenuItemInfo", "UInt", SystemMenuHandle, "UInt", (SC_MAXIMIZE:=0xF030), "UInt", (NULL:=0x0), "UInt", &MenuItemInfo )
MsgBox, % NumGet( MenuItemInfo, 12 ) |

For some reason I can access the System menu only once while it is still open,after close and reopen the window the menu is accessible again.
I was running this code to test:
| Code: | win := "some window"
msgbox, % DllCall("GetMenuItemCount", "UInt", DllCall("GetSystemMenu", "Int", WinExist(win), "Int", 0))
;the result should be 7

Why do things the hard way?
| WinGet wrote: | MinMax: Retrieves the minimized/maximized state for a window. OuputVar is made blank if no matching window exists; otherwise, it is set to one of the following numbers:
-1: The window is minimized (WinRestore can unminimize it).
1: The window is maximized (WinRestore can unmaximize it).
0: The window is neither minimized nor maximized. |

Not so much the hard way
But something completely different to MinMax
WinMaximize will maximize a window even if it isn't "allowed" to be maximized
e.g. The Maximize button or menu item is disabled/greyed
So as a work around I'm trying to get the state of the Maximize menu item
When the window is in a restore mode
In order to determine if it should be maximized or not
Hope this clears it up enough to be of help |

I'm not sure why the system menu behaves the way it does, but I think you can get around the problem using WinGet:
| Code: | WinGet, style, Style, A
if (style & 0x10000) ; WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
MsgBox this window can be maximized
else
MsgBox this window cannot be maximized |
