Forms 6i - Window sizes

I'm creating an application in Forms 6i.

I wanted to keep the windows maximized and to disable restore...basically the user must see only maximized windows and NOT be able to restore the window to the original size.

I can maximize the window in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger but I can't seem to able to disable the Restore Window button.

Any ideas?

Thanks a ton.

You do this with setting appropriate properties of the window: Maximize allowed, Resize allowed, Minimize allowed, Move allowed. If you set Maximize allowed to No (which is valid only when Resize allowed set to No), end users won't be able to resize the window by using the zooming capabilities of the runtime window manager. Restore option in this case is disabled. And you can set the orginal size of the window in the Property Palette as well.

If I set maximize allowed to NO and then use the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger to maximize the window...the restore option doesn't get disabled.

I want the window to be maximized and to stay that way...thus disallow the user to restore the maximized window.

But that means I have to set the size of the window in the property sheet. That doesn't mean it's maximized only a fixed size.

Can't I force it to be maximized??
