Maximize document window in mdi environment

By Xiaodong Liang

Issue
How do I maximize an active document window in AutoCAD environment?

Solution
The sample code that follows maximizes an active document window. Before proceeding, be sure that the project supports MFC and .DLL as file extensions.

    static void test(void)

    { 

     CMDIChildWnd   *m_pWnd;

     CMDIFrameWnd    *m_pWndFrame; 

    //   get the pointer to AutoCAD's main frame window.

    m_pWndFrame = acedGetAcadFrame();

    // get the handle of the active window

    m_pWnd         = m_pWndFrame->MDIGetActive();

    // maximize it

    m_pWnd->ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE); 

    }
