command to maximize emacs

command to maximize emacs

[Peter Lee]

I've been looking for a command to maximize emacs and am not having
any luck.  Is there a command to maximize/restore emacs?  I saw
iconify-frame and deiconify-frame, but nothing about maximizing.

Thanks.

I use the following to maximize my frame on startup (as well as other
things), maybe you can use some of this ...

(defun jbr-init ()
  "Called from term-setup-hook after the default terminal setup is
done or directly from startup if term-setup-hook not used.  The value
0xF030 is the command for maximizing a window."
  (interactive)
  (w32-send-sys-command ?\xf030)
  (ecb-redraw-layout)
  (diary 1)
  (flash-paren-mode 1)
  (calendar)
)

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for.  Seems like there would
be an emacs native command for doing this similar to iconify and
deiconify though.

  There is `iconify-or-deiconify-frame', which seems to be X specific.
  If you know what codes to send via the w32-sys-whatever function it
  shouldn't be too hard to write your own.
