Initial Window State - Idea - Forum - VisualNEO. Cross-platform App Development Tool for Windows

A new cool option in "App Properties" would be: "Initial Window State". (See attached image)

The below line code maximizes the window BUT after the window is shown (this is annoying xD)
and this is not the same to start the window already maximized without
showing the window first (Similar to "Initial Window Position").

Well, I know that you understand the idea. Thanks a lot and regards.

SetVar "[WindowState]" "Maximized"

You might find it somewhat less annoying if you had a dummy first page which ...

a) has a lot of properties (background, transition effect/speed)

b) could be populated with your Logo etc.

Then place ...

SetVar "[WindowState]" "Whatever"
GotoPage "RealHomePage"

... in the PageEnter section of this page.

As far as adding [WindowInitialState], a more productive enhancement would be if developers had a place to specify (at design time) initial values for Global Variables i.e. available to VisualNEOWin before rendering anything.

Hi @gaev

Everything is ok with all you said... But have a look to attached gif to understand better.

If "Initial Window Position" was possible to add to VisualNeoWin, I know "Initial Window State" will be too.

Regards.
