How to Maximize Setup Toolkit Window

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

The Microsoft Setup Toolkit for Windows does not provide any options or functions for maximizing the frame window. The frame window will always be initially displayed as an unmaximized window with a caption.

However, you can call the Windows ShowWindow and SetWindowLong application programming interface (API) functions from a script to maximize the frame and remove the caption. If the calls are made at the beginning of the script, there will be only a quick flicker as the window size and border are changed. The following code can be used to do this:

''following were taken from windows.h. &H means they're hex

DECLARE FUNCTION ShowWindow LIB "user.exe" (hWnd%,iShow%) AS INTEGER DECLARE FUNCTION SetWindowLong LIB "user.exe" (hWnd%, offset%, style&)

                AS LONG     ''this declaration must all be on one line
