I believe that you have to do this outside Revolution. On the Mac you can readily use Applescripting.
Windows is a bit trickier.
I have just been reviewing the Windows Scripting Host and it looks promising.
Have a look at the Windows site for this.
I created a simple *.vbs file in notepad. This is a text file created in Notepad and saved with .vbx suffix. When called it works through the Windows Scripting Host resident within Win2000 and XP.
File Contents as follows:
Const MAXIMIZE_WINDOW = 9 Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "Revolution.exe", MAXIMIZE_WINDOW
saved as file: minmaxprogwind.vbs
Please be advised that this script does not do what you wish as when I just tested it with an instance of Revolution open and minimized it actually called another instance of Rev. and opened it maximized! This is a run command. Perhaps the answer lies through using a "start using" command. Certainly I was looking for that but found this instead..
You would also have to call this script from within whatever application you are using while Rev. app. is in the background. Many programs allow that.
Back to poking around windows scripting!
