Maximize IE

Post by des1 »

I tried many things to get this work, but I cannot seem to do this one simple thing.  Anytime Internet Explorer is started or is the active window, I would like to automatically have it maximized.
Thanks,
Deryk

Maximize IE

Post by Oleg »

It's easy. I have wrote a small task for you. This task maximize window by handle. Task has been launched by two triggering events:
1-st checks "window activation"
2-nd checks "window creation"
Both events assignes window handle to variable which used in window command action.
So when IE window has been created (or activated), RomoTask maximize it.

See task below. Save text of task into some file and use "Task | Import" menu to import into RoboTask.
Don't forget to set to "Enabled" status of the imported task, bacause RoboTask disables all imported tasks by default.
