Trying to create a window that is maximized

Trying to create a window that is maximized: Posted by TheTempest on July 11th, 2003; Hi,

I have tryed passing WS_MAXIMIZE as a style in my CreateWindow
function, but it doesn't work. My only other style that i'm currently
using is: WS_OVERLAPPED.

Any ideas?
~Thanks~; Posted by Sten Westerback on July 11th, 2003; Use WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW which includes the
Maximize button which also enables maximize style...

Hi,
Your problem is not specific.
pls recheck your "CreateWindow()" function and it's parameters.
read MSDN for further help.
eg.
hwnd = CreateWindow(
"MainWClass", // name of window class
"SampleWindow", // title-bar string
WS_MAXIMIZE, // maximized window
CW_USEDEFAULT, // default horizontal position
CW_USEDEFAULT, // default vertical position
CW_USEDEFAULT, // default width
CW_USEDEFAULT, // default height
(HWND) NULL, // no owner window
(HMENU) NULL, // use class menu
hinstance, // handle to application instance
(LPVOID) NULL); // no window-creation data

Regards

You could try creating the window without WS_VISIBLE and then call
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
