emacsclientw restore window

emacsclientw restore window

[troelskn]

When I open a file (On Windows XP), using emacsclientw.exe, while
Emacs is minimised, the window is always restored to windowed state.
How can I make it so the window is restored to maximised state
instead?

If you use a single frame, or a not very complicated frame setup, this
could work:

(setq server-window
      #'(lambda (buffer)
          (let ((pop-up-windows nil))
            (pop-to-buffer buffer))
          (let* ((w (get-buffer-window buffer 0))
                 (f (window-frame w))
                 (v (frame-visible-p f)))
            (select-frame-set-input-focus f)
            (when (eq v 'icon)
              (w32-send-sys-command ?\xF030)))))

Thanks, that kind of works. It triggers a maximise, after the restore
has been sent. I would prefer if restore was never called -- just
maximise. The reason is, that for some reason, there is a rendering
bug at the bottom of the window, if the window is maximised from
restored state. The only way around, is to minimise, then maximise.
I'd rather not have to restore, minimise, maximise, each time I open a
file through emacsclientw.

What bug? Have you reported it? Using

(setq server-window
     #'(lambda (buffer)
         (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame))
         (w32-send-sys-command #xf030)
         (let ((pop-up-windows nil))
           (pop-to-buffer buffer))))

(which is a simpler version of my previous attempt) I see no bug.

Can you tell more about the rendering bug? Did you compile Emacs 22 
yourself?

I thought it was a well-known bug actually. If I start Emacs in
normal, windowed mode, and then maximise it, the lower part of the
window doesn't update -- it shows whatever was showing at the screen,
at that place, before. If I minimise Emacs, and maximise it again, the
bug goes away, and doesn't reappear, until I restore to windowed mode,
and maximise. I saw the same problem mentioned at http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html

I'm using the latest binary release.
