Preventing New Window from being maximized/resized?

Hello,

 

I want to prevent the new window from being maximized/resized. I am aware of the "<<Modal" window, but is there an alternate way? 

Found this threat but it runs a scheduler in the background which I don't prefer

Look in the Scripting Index for Window Size

w = new window("test");
w << Set Window Size( 800, 1200 );

Re: Preventing New Window from being maximized/resized?

To my knowledge you cannot easily do this, but few questions:

1. The most important question: why would you want to prevent user from resizing a window (doesn't really fit the feeling of JMP to not be able to resize a window).
   
   1. One window in JMP which prevents you from maximizing it and it is Legend window but you can still resize it so maybe there is a way to disable maximizing
   2. Other is Caption() but it is it's own thing
2. If you wish to prevent resizing, why not use modal window?
3. Is there a specific issue in using scheduler?
4. That thread has the most probable answer: you might have to go outside the scripting language and do it from the operating system

1. One window in JMP which prevents you from maximizing it and it is Legend window but you can still resize it so maybe there is a way to disable maximizing - I have never came across this, can you share an example code?

1. If you wish to prevent resizing, why not use a modal window? - Bcos Modal window prevents accessing other files/tables 
2. Is there a specific issue in using scheduler? The issue is it slows down the loop

No idea how that could be done.

 

But if you wish to provide very annoying user experience you can use graphic scripts

Names Default To Here(1);

nw = New Window("Example", <<SIZE></SIZE>

This is a nice hack. Thanks Jarmo
