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);   
       
        }

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);
If this or any response has helped you, please reply to the thread stating that it worked so other people with a similar issue will know how you fixed your issue!

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.");
				
			}

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.
