How to create maximized resizable main window?

[r-pankevicius]

Hi,

In examples I see using absolute sizes for main window, like .SetSize(new Size(2048, 1024)) in Angular Demo App.

How to create resizable main window win minimize/maximize buttons that is maximized to host window at the start?

@r-pankevicius I believe you're looking for .SetMaximized(true)

Thanks @MikeYeager , it was close.

This code compiled in WinExe project type starts main window maximized, window has minimize/maximize, close and restore (?) buttons.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	var window = new PhotinoWindow()
		.SetTitle("Window title")
		.SetMaximized(true);

	window.StartString = "Hello";

	window.WaitForClose();
}

However pressing that "restore" button (middle one, I don't know how it's called exactly, the window becomes minimized but still on top:

It's not a default behaviour in Windows, normally it sets window size to some "not maximized, but not minimized" size.

Adding .SetUseOsDefaultSize(true) in "window builder" code doesn't help.

@r-pankevicius I believe you have run across a known bug in Photino. We broke the OS default sizes when we added a new feature recently. It's on our radar. We recently figured out a build issue that had caused us grief for a few weeks and this week is the BUILD conference, so we'll likely get into this next week. Sorry for the inconvenience. I believe it you set a size and turn of use defaults, you can also set maximized to true and the window will work as expected, but you will have to specify the 'normal' size.

No worries, @MikeYeager : I've just started to migrate the app from Electron.NET to Photino, I expect it to take some time, so I have time to wait for a fix.

@MikeYeager I saw it is solved in 3.1.18
