Re: [amibroker] Dumb question - please help? Sizing AmiBroker

Hello,
 
As I said minimize/maximize is completely handled by Windows. No application provides single line of code for this.
It is totally Windows thing. And AB window is not different, works as any other window. And it surely has 3 states, minimized, maximized and restored.
As any other window.
 
Did you read what I wrote. It seems not. Did I mention "move". No I didn't. I wrote "SIZE" option.
 
Also I wrote:
"it may happen that "restored" window is large enough so it appears as "maximized" while it isn't.
The difference is easy to spot out as "restored window" has dotted sizing GRIP in the lower right corner, while
maximized window does not have it. So click the middle button until there is a sizing grip in the lower right corner and THEN
resize. Alternatively you can click on AmiBroker button in the Windows TASK BAR with RIGHT mouse button and
choose "Size" from the menu.
"
Again: you may think it is maximized because the "restored" size may be the *same* as maximized and you don't spot the difference.
But there is a difference - dotted sizing grip in the lower right corner - see description above.
 
Also, you may reset stored size by deleting the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TJP\Broker\WindowPos
 
If you do that, AB will open in a small window, that you will certainly be able to move anywhere.

No Tomasz it does NOT JUST WORK!

I currently have 17 various programs open over the 4 monitors. With 16 of the programs the upper right hand minimize-maximize buttons works as they should.

For AmiBroker they do NOT work correctly: Only two states work for AmiBroker - either the window is totally minimized or totally maximized. I have no ability to resize the window. the MOVE option seems to function but will NOT actually move AmiBroker to another screen.

I accept that it probably is a 3rd party application that caused the problem - but "why" for only AmiBroker and no other application?

I have been using computers since 1983 (the first IBM PC), so I am not a complete computer novice.

I would just like some suggestions on how I might go about fixing my problem.

Thanks for responding.

It just works.
 
And there can't be a AB bug here because NO line of AB code is used to minimize/maximize window.
 
Minimizing/maximizing windows is ENTIRELY done by Windows itself and AB has nothing to do with that.
 
If it does not work you either:
 
a) did not press correct button (you should press "restore" button which is the one in the middle (note that this button
is actually "toggle" it maximizes or RESTORES (back and forth) so you need to take a closer look what's its state
Also note that it may happen that "restored" window is large enough so it appears as "maximized" while it isn't.
The difference is easy to spot out as "restored window" has dotted sizing GRIP in the lower right corner, while

resize. Alternatively you can click on AmiBroker button in the Windows TASK BAR with RIGHT mouse button and
choose "Size" from the menu.
 
b) installed 3rd party programs that affect normal operation of Windows (I have seen all kind of weird "utilities" that
hook into the system and do some weird things.

Try Support. It would be a first if its an AB bug. And since it works for me on XP, its probably something specific in your set up.
Support!

Sorry Dave - but this doesn't work for AmiBroker right now BUT does work for ALL other programs. I have some king of "bug" in AmiBroker. I tried re-installing but that didn't work.

Anyone else?

George

I have 4 monitors running Win XP. I have AmiBroker running on one
monitor. I can either maximize or minimize AmiBroker. I want to "shrink"
the size of AmiBroker's window and move it to another monitor. This I
can't do - any help?

Regards,
George
