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.

Hello,
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
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.
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

Pretty easy for me. Just click on one of minimize buttons in
upper right corner, drag window to monitor I want it on and
click on mazimize. It automatically sizes window to fit new
monitor.

Sizing AmiBroker
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
