Yes, that's exactly what I was referring to. So are you confirming this limitation? Is this only in Revolution or does this limitation exist with other applications? (I just answered my own question--tried the same thing with Internet Explorer and it acts the same way: you can't make the window larger that the screen rectangle.)
Gee, Windows is dandy.
If you *really* *really* want the functionality for your users, it should be possible to detect when the window is partially off-screen, and (programmatically) trim the window size to only the part that is on-screen. This would always allow the user to expand the on-screen edges - and then you could re-adjust if the window moved again.
You'd have to be really desperate to get the functionality to justify all this work - and even then you might have some oddities with menus appearing unexpectedly. But I have used something like this technique to overcome windowing system limitations in the (dim, distant) past. (Apollo Systems, early '80s - details are gone ...)
