Maximise IE window created in VB

[Danish_Ken]

Hi guru's

How can i get VB to maximize an IE window created in VB. I have tried following with no success.


Function CreateIE
MaxIEObjects = MaxIEObjects + 1
ReDim preserve IE (MaxIEObjects)
Set IE(MaxIEObjects) = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE(MaxIEObjects).Visible=1
CreateIE = MaxIEObjects
DoCmd.Maximize
End Function

VBEval>CreateIE,IE[1]
VBRun>Navigate,%IE[1]%,,http://www.google.com.au



Function CreateIE
MaxIEObjects = MaxIEObjects + 1
ReDim preserve IE (MaxIEObjects)
Set IE(MaxIEObjects) = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE(MaxIEObjects).Visible=1
IE(MaxIEObjects).Maximize
CreateIE = MaxIEObjects
End Function

VBEval>CreateIE,IE[1]
VBRun>Navigate,%IE[1]%,,http://www.google.com.au


Can't see the wood for trees I bet.

Thanks

Since this method of automating IE doesn't even need to have IE visible I'm not sure why it is important to have it maximised. This method of automating IE works beneath the user interface and works directly with IE's scripting interface.

I don't know of a way to maximise it per se but you can put IE in full screen mode:

Function CreateIE
MaxIEObjects = MaxIEObjects + 1
ReDim preserve IE (MaxIEObjects)
Set IE(MaxIEObjects) = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE(MaxIEObjects).Visible=1
IE(MaxIEObjects).FullScreen = True
CreateIE = MaxIEObjects
End Function
