Catch Maximize events?

[fisofo]

Haven't been able to find this asked yet, but is there a way to catch a maximize event from a window? Something along the lines of some GUIRegisterMsg or something?

I'm asking because someone asked me if I could capture that and interpret it to "maximize to half the screen" rather than a normal maximize to the full screen. I've actually seen this done via other window control programs (non-autoit), so i'm guessing there's a way.

thanks!

Take a look at this:

If I find something else more useful I edit the post.

EDIT: The message you want to hook is WM_SIZE.

Nice, thank you. I'll post if I am able to do it.
