window options - prevent maximize?

[hugorodrigues]

Hello!

Is possible to prevent the node-webkit window to be maximized or resized?

Best Regards

It's not possible now, ability to make window unresizable will be added in future

[respectTheCode]

As a work around you could open a new window with resizeable=no and then close the first window. The maximize button is still there but the window doesn't change sizes.

I am using something like this

window.open(
    "main.html",
    "Title",
    "width=300,height=350,location=no,toolbar=no,statusbar=no,resizeable=no"
);

window.close();

In fact, you set min_width, min_height, max_width, max_height to the same with width and height, which do the exact same thing with disabling resizing.

As for prevent maximize, did you mean hiding the maximize window button, or preventing the user to maximize the window? I don't think the latter is a good idea.

Removing maximize button and prevent the user to manually change the native window size are both important.
Hidding the entire native window interface (chrome-less) will also be great.

A lame use for all this features: the spash intro window for an app

Is there a way overriding the min_* & max_* on js? if so, u can set the default to the splash page size, and before you show your main app, hide it and do some stuff and show it w/ min_* and max_* to 'auto' if that is possible.

I really like node-webkit so far as I am gathering resources on this genre to be used for our internal app.

Not possible now but I'm working on the new native UI library that will enable it.

resizable is now a part of package.json, see Manifest Format, and you can also change it at runtime, see Window.setResizable in Window.

Hi guys

@zcbenz I have just started to try out node webkit and have been using the manifest examples. I have tried the min_width, min_height, max_width, max_height settings and they are not causing any change when running the app. I have also tried building the .exe version to see if packaging would make any difference, but that did not. The resizable setting is not working either.

The settings for width and height do work correctly.

I am not sure what I am missing here - I am on Window 7 fyi.

It's a bug, see #121

I'll fix in next release, thanks for reporting.

@zcbenz ok cool thanks.
Next release is likely to be when?

It was said that new minor versions of node-webkit happen weekly.
