Re: How to

   In order to call a window in MAXIMIZE under Form 4.5, you can do the following in your WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVE trigger:

  set_window_property('ROOT_WINDOW', window_state, maximize);

this brings your ROOT_WINDOW up maximized in relation to the "RUNFORM" windows, which I haven't been able to maximize programatically. This window_state, property is new to 4.5 (if I remember correctly). 4.5.4 is miles away from 4.0.13, new functionallity, object navigator, all around just a much better development environment (IMHO).

  If anyone has been able to raise the "RUNFORM" window in maximized mode, please post a how-to..
