Hi Denis: I tried placing this script in OutLook but when trying
to compile, received an error stating "unexpected word Then". I
typed the script in just as it was read to me. We even double
checked the spacing with the message. Any clues to what can be
happening. This script would be very useful. I did eliminate
changing the properties. Would this make a difference? Thanks
in qdvance for any help.

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 Ma
nager.
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!
Thanks,
