Here is that MaximizeStatus script to maximize the messages in Outlook
Express.
1) While in OE, hit Insert+0 to launch Script Manager.
2) Hit Control+End to get to the end of the file, and hit Enter a to give
yourself some blank lines from the previous script.
3) Type in, or cut and paste, the following script:
Script MaximizeStatus ()
SaveCursor ()
FindGraphic (GetAppMainWindow (GetCurrentWindow ()), "close symbol", s_top,
s_unrestricted)
PriorWord ()
If GetWord () == "Maximize Symbol" Then
LeftMouseButton ()
EndIf
RestoreCursor ()
Pause()
EndScript
4) While in that script, hit Control+D to get to it's properties. Fill in
the Synopsis and Description info, and assign it to a key if you like, then
select Ok to get back to the Script Editor.
5) Hit Shift+F2 to move up through the scripts, stopping on the function
"FocusChangedEvent".
6) Arrow down to the first "If" statement and hit Home, then Enter. This
will put a blank line above this "If" statement.
7) Hit Up arrow once, and starting on this blank line, either type in, or
cut and paste, the following "If" statement:
If(GetWindowTypeCode(GetCurrentWindow()) == 0) Then
PerformScript MaximizeStatus()
EndIf
8) Hit Control+S to compile and hit Alt+F4 to exit the Script Manager.
What it does:
The script saves the current cursor; searches for the graphic labeled "Close
symbol", which is generally in the upper-right corner of the screen, and on
the same line with the Minimize, Maximize, Restore symbols.
Once it locates that symbol, it moves one graphic symbol to the left, which
is where the "Maximize symbol" is located when the window isn't maximized.
If it finds the "Maximize symbol", it clicks the left mouse button to
maximize the window, then it restores the saved cursor info.
Before exiting the script, it pauses long enough for the screen to settle
down, then ends the script. Without the Pause statement, some header info
gets read twice.
The If/Then statement we put in the FocusChangedEvent tells JFW that if the
current window type code isn't "0", don't try to maximize it. This keeps
the script from trying to maximize Ok buttons, Edit fields in Spell-check,
etc.
Hope this helps!
