Maximize the browser page in IE : Automation API

[omayer]

in code- How to use try and catch for the following scenario
a. -Maximize the browser if itsn't open at fullscreen or maximized.

Code: Select all

     public void OpenBrowser()
        
        {     
           
         System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe", url);   
       
        }


Thank you.

Not sure what try/catch has to do with your question, but you can add startInfo properties to your start command that tells the browser to open maximized...

Code: Select all

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("iexplore.exe");
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
startInfo.Arguments = myURL;
Process.Start(startInfo);

For reference, another way to do this when you don't have control over the start up info (example if you click a link and it loads up the page in the browser) is

Code: Select all

   try {
            Ranorex.WebDocument root = "rxpath to dom";
            root.FullScreen = true;
         } catch (Exception){
            Report.Warn("Failed to maximise dash.");
            
         }

Ah, maybe root.Browser.Maximize()

With 3.1 the Host.OpenBrowser and RunApplication methods will also support a "maximized" argument. If passing "true" for that argument, the browser/application will be maximized after being started.
