Maybe overkill but the UIA interface for maximising a window is pretty reliable:
UIA = CreateObject( etc etc see FSUIA documentation)
hWnd = GetYourWindowHandle
oWnd = UIA.GetElementFromHandle(hWnd)
oWnd.GetWindowPattern().SetWindowVisualState(WindowVisualStateConstant)
You will have to look up the maximised window state constant in UIA.jsh because
I cant remember it off the top of my head.
Hope this helps.

Thanks anyway Jim. I've been tackling this today and I'm hoping I've got
success. Jaws seems to encounter an invalid window handle sometimes, so
dealing with that, along with the maximize window line I found on an old forum
post and what Csaba sent, is so far working...fingers crossed it works tomorrow
:). steve.

Steve,
I have seen taht too, and it might be a QT issue.
Just pressing the control key usually brings focus to the app. But, very
often, after alt tabbing to it, jaws can not pick up the focus.
I don't know of a nice solution.
So, I'm just speaking an error message if focus cant be acquired.

Jim, don't know if you've experienced SF12 being flakey on initial focus,
but in Samplitude, the auto start event doesn't always get full focus. They
have a key, control P to bring focus to the VIP, but just wondered if you
had any tips of getting the auto start event to be more robust? When
pressing insert Q, sometimes it reports as ", scripts are loaded etc",
instead of the full script name "Samplitude scripts V4.0 are loaded etc".
It's as if Jaws struggles to get that initial focus without having to press
this key. THX Steve.

That is why it is best to use the names instead of the numbers. But, to use
the names, you must include the proper .jsh file, and I don't know that name
at the moment.
But, using those names makes this read a little better, and there are some
other maintainability reasons to use those as well.
Steve, just compare these numbers with whatever these names you use are
defined to.
But, if these numbers are correct, or the names to which they are attached,
this should work.

Hi,
What do these numbers represent: 274 and 61000.
(GetFocus()), 274, 61488, 0)
Thanks

Hi Steve,
there is my working code to minimize/maximize windows in JAWS Script:
Script WindowMinimize ()
; Minimizes the window to the Taskbar
SendMessage(GetAppMainWindow(GetFocus()), 274, 61472, 0)
EndScript ; WindowMinimize
Script WindowMaximize ()
; Maximizes the window to the full screen.
SendMessage(GetAppMainWindow(GetFocus()), 274, 61488, 0)
EndScript ; WindowMaximize
HTH

Hi folks. I currently have:__________
PostMessage (hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MAXIMIZE, 0) to maximize a
window, but it definitely isn’t working. Could anyone let me know what I
need to include in order to get a window maximized when opening it? THX
