Maximize browser window

Hi,

I'm hoping to find a solution to make sure the browser is maximised before testing comenses.

I launch the browser using:



Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run(Project.Variables.websiteUrl);



I was wondering how I can ensure this is maximised?

I was using:-

Sys.Process("IEXPLORE").BrowserWindow(0).Maximize();

but this is unreliable as it's hard coded and the browser might not be in running  as BrowserWindow(0).



Any assistance is appreciated.

    This may not be the most efficient way to Maximize all Browser Windows, but it does work.



    function MaximizeBrowserWindows()

    {

        var BrowserWindows=Sys.FindAll("ObjectType", "BrowserWindow", 3).toArray();   

       

        for (var i = 0; i < BrowserWindows.length; i++)

        {

            BrowserWindows.Maximize();

        }

    }

      Hello

       

      The code is throwing and error. Any chance you execute it and verify if you experience similar result?

       

      Thank you

        I just stumbled onto this post, I know it is very very late. I am pretty new at this myself.

         

        I thought it is still might be useful for someone else. The downside to this is, losing tabs, URL, bookmarks etc.

         

        JScript/Javascript&colon;

        var page = (*) // or specific url

Sys.Browser.page.Keys("[F11]");

         

        or

        var page = (*) // or specific url

Sys.Browser.page.Keys(~ " "); //there is a 'space' between "
Sys.Browser.page.Keys(x);

         

         

        Hope this comes handy for someone.

    Just to add what Mike stated. Better to find the BrowserIndex of the browser instance used and use that.

    In VBscript though, some thing like this..


    Set wScriptObj = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell") Call wScriptObj.Run("iexplore.exe " & ProjectSuite.Variables.URL)


     wScriptObj = .OleObject("WScript.Shell")  wScriptObj.Run("iexplore.exe " & .Variables.URL)

     


    Set browser=Sys.Browser("iexplore")


    Set page = browser.Page(ProjectSuite.Variables.Page)

    index=browser.BrowserIndex


     


    browser.BrowserWindow(index).Maximize
