Why Does $ws_maximizebox Hide The Window

[dickieknee]

$max_width=@DesktopWidth-100

$max_height = @DesktopHeight-100

$min_width=610

$min_height = 500

$width =$min_width

$height= $min_height

; GUI

GuiCreate("Win title", $width, $height, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)

when i use GuiCreate with title, width and height, i get a window with a minimize

and a close box in the top right corner, but no maximise box

when i include $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX into GuiCreate then the window does

not open but sits minimised in the taskbar

have i missed something here, i am using the beta version and have

#include <GuiConstants.au3> at the top of the script

Thx in advance

Thanks, seems so simple now, i had not realised that the start positions werre

compulsory when using styles

though there still is one problem

the window is now visible and when i hit the maximize box then all controls adjust in

size except for the TAB which remains fixed to the$min_width and $min_height,

I removed all variable associations for the width and height and just had fixed numbers

but this still yielded no change in the tab size

it is friday though
