Showing a ShellView maximized

I am trying to open a ShellView maximized by adding the following
#onViewOpened method to my presenter:

onViewOpened
    super onViewOpened.
    self view showMaximized

This works partially, since the view is maximized for a very short while,
before Presenter>>show sends #show to the view. This results in that
View>>showWithStyle: is evaluated, which immediately makes the view smaller
again. The image contains no references to ShellView>>showMaximized so I
can't figure out when to execute this method. Is there an event that occurs
after #viewOpened where I can send #showMaximized or do I have to create my
own ShellView subclass that modifies #defaultShowStyle (and in that case,
what is the value for maximized style)?

Best regards,
Mikael Svane

Mikael,

You could use:

onViewOpened
   super onViewOpened.
   [self view showMaximized] postToInputQueue


This will defer the execution of the maximize until the Windows message
queue is again allowed to pump messages (i.e. after the current Windows
message has completed and the view has been created).

Best regards

There may be a better way, but the following works: override showShell in your
Shell subclass:

showShell

    self view showMaximized
