SUMMARY
The Exchange Forms Designer does not provide a way to launch the main
window of a form in a maximized state. Maximizing the form in the design
environment and installing the form does not allow you to set the Window
State property to maximized.
MORE INFORMATION
To set the window state property of the main form window, perform the
following steps:
- After you install the form, open the form's project (.vbp) files in
Visual Basic. These files are located in the <Form Name>.vb directory.
- Open the Main window form named Window1.frm.
- From the View menu, select Properties.
- In the Properties dialog box, set the value of the Window State property
to Maximized.
- Select Save Project from the File menu.
- From the File menu, select Make EXE file to re-compile the executable.
When prompted, choose Yes to replace the existing file.
At this point the .exe file has been updated with the new property. The
next step is to reinstall the updated .exe into the form library or public
folder into which it was originally installed. You can do this by using
the Forms Manager in the Microsoft Exchange client and clicking the Install
button. Then, point to the .cfg file for the form that you just customized.
The Forms Manager will then prompt you to overwrite the existing form, if
you have correctly selected the same location that the form was installed.
The next time a client launches the form, a new copy will be copied to the
computer and will start in a maximized state.
