May be we should change that next time it's possible.
But you can retrieve the native window handle (e.g. HWND on windows).
Cast the window to the interface css.awt.XSystemDependentWindowPeer
and call it's method getWindowHandle(). The parameter ProcessId can be
ignored (use an empty array) ... but the second parameter SystemType
must be from type css.lang.SystemDependent.
The return value itselfs depend from the used SystemType parameter.
Please read the document of the interface.
Here a basic macro, which shows the needed steps:
sub maximize
frame = StarDesktop.getActiveFrame()
window = frame.getContainerWindow()
handle = window.getWindowHandle(dimarray(), 1) ' 1=WIN32
msgbox handle
end sub

Thanks for you response.
I took your code and added this:
Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" _
(ByVal lHwnd As Long, _
ByVal lCmdShow As Long) As Boolean
sub MaxWindow
dim frame
dim window
dim handle
frame = StarDesktop.getActiveFrame()
window = frame.getContainerWindow()
handle = window.getWindowHandle(dimarray(), 1) ' 1=WIN32
'msgbox handle
ShowWindow( handle, 3 )
end sub
Now, if I call this with a Writer, Calc, Draw or Impress document open
it works wonderfully.
However, what I wanted to do was use this to maximize a data entry form
from a Base database file. When I do that I receive a runtime error, or
unintended action.
If any of the other types of documents are open, as well as the data
entry form, then this other document is actually maximized. If the data
entry form
is the only one open, then an error is generated "Object Variable not
set" - on the "Frame" variable. Interestingly enough after the first
error you can
run it again, and the Basic IDE frame will be maximized.
