The task is to determine the maximum height and width of a window that can fit within the physical display area of the screen without scrolling.

This is effectively the screen size (not the total desktop area, which could be bigger than the screen display area) in pixels minus any adjustments for window decorations and menubars.

The idea is to determine the physical display parameters for the maximum height and width of the usable display area in pixels (without scrolling).

The values calculated should represent the usable desktop area of a window maximized to fit the the screen.

;Considerations:

;--- Multiple Monitors: For multiple monitors, the values calculated should represent the size of the usable display area on the monitor which is related to the task (i.e.: the monitor which would display a window if such instructions were given).

;--- Tiling Window Managers For a tiling window manager, the values calculated should represent the maximum height and width of the display area of the maximum size a window can be created (without scrolling). This would typically be a full screen window (minus any areas occupied by desktop bars), unless the window manager has restrictions that prevents the creation of a full screen window, in which case the values represent the usable area of the desktop that occupies the maximum permissible window size (without scrolling).

AutoHotkey

This is a modified example taken from the AutoHotkey documentation for the [http://ahkscript.org/docs/commands/SysGet.htm SysGet] command. Also, the built in variables [http://ahkscript.org/docs/Variables.htm#Screen A_ScreenHeight] and [http://ahkscript.org/docs/Variables.htm#Screen A_ScreenWidth] contain the width and height of the primary monitor, in pixels.

SysGet, MonitorCount, MonitorCount

The following implementation has been tested on Windows 8.1, may not work on Linux systems.


#include<windows.h>

EGL

To get the size of the window in a RuiHandler a JavaScript function is needed that is not natively supported by EGL. Therefore an external type is created to wrap the JavaScript function.

File 'Browser.js' in folder 'utils' in the WebContent folder of a rich UI project.


egl.defineClass(
	'utils', 'Browser',
{
	"getViewportWidth" : function () {
		return window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.body.clientWidth;
	},
	"getViewportHeight" : function(){
		return window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight || document.body.clientHeight;
	}
});

The external type to wrap the JavaScript functions.


ExternalType Browser type JavaScriptObject{
	relativePath = "utils",
	javaScriptName = "Browser"
}

	function getViewportWidth() returns (int);

	function getViewportHeight() returns (int);

end

Usage of the Browser external type in a RuiHandler.


browser Browser{};
bvh int = browser.getViewportHeight();
bvw int = browser.getViewportWidth();
SysLib.writeStdout("ViewportHeight: " + bvh);
SysLib.writeStdout("ViewportWidth: " + bvw);

Output


ViewportHeight: 860
ViewportWidth: 1680

FBSL

In the graphics mode, Windows does it all automatically and displays a form that fills the entire area not obscured by the taskbar on your primary monitor:


ShowWindow(ME, SW_MAXIMIZE)
BEGIN EVENTS
END EVENTS

Alternatively, one can obtain the unobscured area's dimensions using the following console script:

#APPTYPE CONSOLE
#INCLUDE <Include\Windows.inc>

TYPE RECT
	%Left
	%Top
	%Right
	%Bottom
END TYPE

DIM rc AS RECT
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, @rc, 0)
PRINT "width = ", rc.Right - rc.Left, ", height = ", rc.Bottom - rc.Top

A typical output for a 1680x1050 primary monitor will be:

width = 1680, height = 1017

Overview

In gambas, the trick to determining the maximum window size that will fit on the screen is to create a form that is maximized and then query its dimensions from within a Form_Resize() event. Note that the form can be invisible during this process, and typically we would use the main modal window (FMain in this example).

Creating the form

From with the project create a form (FMain) with the following properties set:

FMain.Maximized = True
FMain.Visible = False    ' The form can be invisible

From within the projectview, rightclick the FMain form and select Edit class from the contextmenu. This will display a form class file (FMain.class) as follows:

PUBLIC SUB _new()

END

PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()

END

Adding the form resize event

We can now add a Form_Resize() event to the class file with the necessary code to obtain the screen dimensions as follows:

PUBLIC SUB Form_Resize()
  PRINT "The maximum window size that can be used without scrolling is "; FMain.Width; " x "; FMain.Height
END

Gambas

Public Sub Form_Open()

Print Desktop.Width
Print Desktop.Height

End

Output:

func main() {
    w, h := robotgo.GetScreenSize()
    fmt.Printf("Screen size: %d x %d\n", w, h)
    fpid, err := robotgo.FindIds("firefox")
    if err == nil && len(fpid) > 0 {
        pid := fpid[0]
        robotgo.ActivePID(pid)
        robotgo.MaxWindow(pid)
        _, _, w, h = robotgo.GetBounds(pid)
        fmt.Printf("Max usable : %d x %d\n", w, h)
    }

Perl 6

{{works with|Rakudo|2018.12}} This is kind-of a silly task. The maximum window size is going to depend on your OS, hardware, display server and graphics toolkit, not your programming language. Taken at face value, using a Linux system running an X11 display server, the maximum displayable window size is the resolution of your monitor. Basically, the size of your desktop viewport. The Perl 6 module X11::libxdo returns the desktop viewport size for get-desktop-dimensions which is the effective maximum window size.

use X11::libxdo;

my $xdo = Xdo.new;

my ($dw, $dh) = $xdo.get-desktop-dimensions( 0 );

say "Desktop viewport dimensions: (maximum-fullscreen size) $dw x $dh";

You could instead use atom {x,y} = IupGetIntInt(NULL,"FULLSIZE"|"SCREENSIZE"|"MAXSIZE") to get numbers instead of strings.

PicoLisp

The following works on ErsatzLisp, the Java version of PicoLisp.

(let Frame (java "javax.swing.JFrame" T "Window")
   (java Frame 'setExtendedState
      (java (public "javax.swing.JFrame" 'MAXIMIZED_BOTH)) )
   (java Frame 'setVisible T)
   (wait 200)
   (let Size (java (java Frame 'getContentPane) 'getSize)
      (prinl "Width: " (java (public Size 'width)))
      (prinl "Height: " (java (public Size 'height))) )
   (java Frame 'dispose) )

Output (on a 1024x768 screen):

Width: 1010
Height: 735

PureBasic

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 5, 5, "", #PB_Window_Maximize + #PB_Window_Invisible)
  maxX = WindowWidth(0)
  maxY = WindowHeight(0)
  CloseWindow(0)
  MessageRequester("Result", "Maximum Window Width: " + Str(maxX) + ", Maximum Window Height: " + Str(maxY))
EndIf

Sample output for a screen area 1600 x 1200:

Maximum Window Width: 1600, Maximum Window Height: 1181

Python


#!/usr/bin/env python3

import tkinter as tk # import the module.

root = tk.Tk() # Create an instance of the class.
root.state('zoomed') # Maximized the window.
root.update_idletasks() # Update the display.
tk.Label(root, text=(str(root.winfo_width())+ " x " +str(root.winfo_height())),
         font=("Helvetica", 25)).pack() # add a label and set the size to text.
root.mainloop()

Sample output for 1366 x 768 screen:

1366 x 706

Racket


#lang racket/gui
(define-values [W H]
  (let ([f (new frame% [label "test"])])
    (begin0 (send* f (maximize #t) (show #t) (get-client-size))
      (send f show #f))))
(printf "~ax~a\n" W H)

Ring


load "guilib.ring"
new qApp {
         win1 = new qWidget() {
                new qPushButton(win1) {
                    resize(200,200)
                    settext("Info")
                    setclickevent(' win1{ setwindowtitle("Width: " +  width() + " Height : " +  height() ) }')
                }
                showMaximized()}
                exec()
                }

Run BASIC

Run Basic uses javaScript to return the width of the browser window. IE browser uses different functions than everyone else. So you write code for the world, and also for IE


html "<INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' id='winHigh' name='winHigh' VALUE='";winHigh;"'></input>"
html "<INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' id='winWide' name='winWide' VALUE='";winWide;"'></input>"

html "<script>
<!--

function winSize()
{
var myWide	= 0, myHigh = 0;
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
myWide		= window.innerWidth;
myHigh		= window.innerHeight;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
myWide		= document.documentElement.clientWidth;
myHigh		= document.documentElement.clientHeight;
} else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 4 compatible
myWide		= document.body.clientWidth;
myHigh		= document.body.clientHeight;
}
// window.alert( 'Width = ' + myWide + ' Height = ' + myHigh );
document.getElementById('winHigh').value = myHigh;
document.getElementById('winWide').value = myWide;
}

window.onresize  = function()
{
var x = winSize();
}
var x = winSize();
//--></script>

Scala

import java.awt.{Dimension, Insets, Toolkit}

import javax.swing.JFrame

class MaxWindowDims() extends JFrame {
  val toolkit: Toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit
  val (insets0, screenSize) = (toolkit.getScreenInsets(getGraphicsConfiguration),  toolkit.getScreenSize)

  println("Physical screen size: " + screenSize)
  System.out.println("Insets: " + insets0)
  screenSize.width -= (insets0.left + insets0.right)
  screenSize.height -= (insets0.top + insets0.bottom)
  System.out.println("Max available: " + screenSize)
}

object MaxWindowDims {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    new MaxWindowDims
  }
}

Sidef

Using the Tk library:

require('Tk')

func max_window_size() -> (Number, Number) {
    %s'MainWindow'.new.maxsize;
}

var (width, height) = max_window_size();
say (width, 'x', height);


1905x1050

Tcl

package require Tk
proc maxSize {} {
    # Need a dummy window; max window can be changed by scripts
    set top .__defaultMaxSize__
    if {![winfo exists $top]} {
        toplevel $top
        wm withdraw $top
    }
    # Default max size of window is value we want
    return [wm maxsize $top]
}

On this system, that returns 1440 836. Further discussion of related matters, including platform limitations, is on [http://wiki.tcl.tk/10872 the Tcler's Wiki].

== {{header|Visual Basic}} ==

Method 1

The first method involves querying the screen dimensions and then subtracting pixels used by the frame and desktop bars:

TYPE syswindowstru
  screenheight AS INTEGER
  screenwidth AS INTEGER
  maxheight AS INTEGER
  maxwidth AS INTEGER
END TYPE

DIM syswindow AS syswindowstru

' Determine the height and width of the screen

syswindow.screenwidth = Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
syswindow.screenheight=Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY

' Make adjustments for window decorations and menubars

Method 2

The alternative method is to create a form that is maximized and then query its dimensions (similar to the method used in gambas).

Visual Basic .NET

'''Compiler:''' Roslyn Visual Basic (language version >= 14, e.g. with Visual Studio 2015) {{works with|.NET Framework|4.7.2}} (simple enough that it should probably work on every Framework version--.NET Core 3.0 will support Windows Forms on Windows only) Must be referenced:

{{libheader|GDI+}} (managed interface) [System.Drawing] {{libheader|Windows Forms}} [System.Windows.Forms]

Bounds are the screen's dimensions; working area is the is the region that excludes "taskbars, docked windows, and docked tool bars" (from Framework documentation).

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        Dim bounds As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
        Console.WriteLine($"Primary screen bounds:  {bounds.Width}x{bounds.Height}")

        Dim workingArea As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea
        Console.WriteLine($"Primary screen working area:  {workingArea.Width}x{workingArea.Height}")
    End Sub
End Module

Primary screen bounds:  1714x1143
Primary screen working area:  1714x1103

Alternatively, use the dimensions of a borderless form with WindowState set to FormWindowState.Maximized (i.e. a full-screen window that is shown above the taskbar).

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        Using f As New Form() With {
            .WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized,
            .FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
            }

            f.Show()
            Console.WriteLine($"Size of maximized borderless form:  {f.Width}x{f.Height}")
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module

Size of maximized borderless form:  1714x1143
