Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response , the option of overwriting the setMaximized is
feasible since i have already extended Frame. I will let you know the
results.
Attached is a simple demo of java Frame maximize respecting the Bounds
set in the form of Rectangle.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan

Creating a custom skin (and component) that extends an existing Pivot
one does not have to be difficult, but unfortunately it is not
something that has been documented as far as I am aware. I know I
have posted example apps to the mailing lists in the past that use
custom skins, so I will try to find one and point you to it as a
reference.
After a very quick scan of the TerraFrameSkin source, it looks like
the ButtonPressListener on line 314 is what you would need to modify
to alter the current behaviour.
However, you might be able to listen for the maximized event of the
Frame and insert some custom code in the listener, but I don't have
time to look into it to confirm.

What about extending Frame and overriding setMaximized() there?
http://pivot.apache.org/2.0/docs/api/org/apache/pivot/wtk/Window.html#setMaximized(boolean)
By the way , Dont you think this a bug from API perspective that Max
limits
are not considered?
I don't think so myself, but that is just my opinion. I understand
your point of view though and would be interested to know what other
OSs and UI toolkits do in this scenario.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I have tried to set the Height and Width limits for a Frame.
But when i click on the Maximize button , these limits are not
considered
and the Frame is expanded to the limits of Display.
Is there any other way to limit this?
Basically i was trying to restrict the length and width of the Frame to
not
to cross a specific components limits.
Thanks and Regards,

As you noted, Pivot's built in maximized Window functionality won't help
you.
You should be able to override the behaviour of the maximize/minimize
button and run some custom code to resize/relocate the Frame according
to your specific requirements.
The source for the default Frame skin is here
