After a user presses a button, I wish to then maximize the browser control to take up the entire screen regardless of screen size. This is initially for a Windows software application.

I can see how to do it in a mobile app, but how do I do it programmatically in windows?

Thank you.

Mike

You can do it automatically with this,

In the Card script
to action only from a button, put in the buttons mouseUp script

I'm still waiting for my money, Mike!

on resizeStack
   set the rect of widget "Browser" to the rect of me
end resizeStack

Code: Select all

set the rect of widget "Browser" to the rect of this card

Thank you for the advice but this does not maximize the control to the screen size. The browser control does not stretch to fit the card when maximized. It stays at its original size. How would I maximize the browser control to fill the entire screen?

Ok, just looked at the thread from Klaus.

So no more help coming from me.

How much remains unpaid, Klaus?

Actually that is 400,- bucks, but I already lowered that to 50,- bucks since 2018,
but M. won't even pay that more than generous sum. I have a very small pension and
would accept that to see at least a little money.

I sent him a PM today to remind him of my offer.

That seems more than fair. Hopefully he'll respond favorably to your generous settlement offer.

I've had a similar situation, but for an amount just under US$10K. Settlement seemed promising a while back, but since then the client has gone dark, no calls or emails returned.

And then there was utter silence...

I was hoping to avoid this, but fine.

Klaus overcharged the living shit out of us without consulting us on the price. We paid and paid and then stopped paying.

At the moment, I am broke. When I have some money, I may, out of the goodness of my heart, pay a bit more to shut him up, however,

I do not like being blackmailed like this.

I will NEVER do business with Klaus and I am sure he will NEVER do business with me.

Done.

Mike

Most self-employed people will have their ups and downs. I can relate to that, as I'm sure most here can.

But I see no blackmail here. I see Klaus requested payment, and my own reply in the other thread only noted a disinclination to provide free consultation until a mutually-satisfying resolution is reached with him.

We're all professionals here, and I'm assuming good intentions on all sides. Software is complex, and 50 years of ACM literature on software project management reminds us how easy it is to have misalignment in the details between expectations and delivery. In my 30 years in the biz I haven't seen a case yet where earnestly talking through the situation didn't ultimately resolve it. I'd like to believe this can be the same. I wish both of you well.
