How do I maximize a window?

[Stephen Kellett]

I am working on some software for blind and partially sighted people.
I've been asked to make the window maximized under program control. This
is on Windows NT/2K/XP.

I can call getMaximumSize() on java.awt.Component and then call
setSize(). However this just makes the window the size of the screen and
does not make the window Maximized.

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

Cheers

Read the fine API's:
- java.awt.Frame.setExtendedState(int state)
- java.awt.Frame.getExtendedState()
- java.awt.Frame.NORMAL
- java.awt.Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH
- java.awt.Frame.ICONIFIED

Look interesting, except that my development environment doesn't have
these - must be quite out of date (Symantec Visual Cafe 3.0).
