How to maximize the cefsimple window

[susinda]

Hi All

I tried to maximize the cefsimple window by setting width height like follows, but it does not work.
window_info.height = 1080;
window_info.width = 1920;
window_info.SetAsPopup(NULL, "cefsimple");

Any idea? Or any other methods like setting some flag to maximize. Note that im using vs 2010 cefsimple sample app.

Thanks

Here is an example of changing window size on Windows: https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... est_win.cc

HI magreenblatt

Many thanks for the answer. It worked.

This is for others who may want the same.
Calling Maximize(browser); in the OnAfterCreated(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser) method worked for me.

Additionally i had to add following 3 methods copied from https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... est_win.cc

HWND GetRootHwnd(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser) {
return ::GetAncestor(browser->GetHost()->GetWindowHandle(), GA_ROOT);
}

// Toggles the current display state.
void Toggle(HWND root_hwnd, UINT nCmdShow) {
// Retrieve current window placement information.
WINDOWPLACEMENT placement;
::GetWindowPlacement(root_hwnd, &placement);

if (placement.showCmd == nCmdShow)
::ShowWindow(root_hwnd, SW_RESTORE);
else
::ShowWindow(root_hwnd, nCmdShow);
}

void Maximize(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser) {
Toggle(GetRootHwnd(browser), SW_MAXIMIZE);
}


Thanks

Hi,
using a linux version, you can set a size to the window using this code too in OnAfterCreated(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser) method .

Code: Select all


  // resize window
  XResizeWindow(cef_get_xdisplay(),browser->GetHost()->GetWindowHandle(),newWidth,newHeight);




However, the window content seems being already displayed and then does not fit the new size.

So, I suppose that I must resize it in another method, but which one or force a content layout refresh ?????


Note: if you want to Maximize, instead of setting a predefined size, you have to retrieve the parent root size and set it as the new size....
