let me see if I get you... You want to get the window dimensions including the window decorations (that is: the window border and the window title bar). You are in the right way searching through the container window: *this* is the system window the frame (where the document is loaded) is initialized with. The problem is that OOo API does not take into account the window manager hints (window decorations, window border and the window title bar). The closest I could get was working with the com.sun.star.awt.DeviceInfo.TopInset (in Linux [well, on Fedora with KDE 4.4] this gives me an approximate idea of the window title bar height). Nevertheless this gives no idea about the window borders. Play with this awful example: http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/devel/ooo/SystemWindow.tar.gz As OOo API can't handle to bring the window to the front, you will have to do it manually (read the comments main method). May be the underlying implementation (the vcl WorkWindow/SystemWindow/Window) knows how to get this data, sure Carsten joins the discussion and gives us some light. You could file a RFE to enhance the com.sun.star.awt.XTopWindow (haha now I see someone [fs in dba33a?] added a com.sun.star.awt.XTopWindow2).
