Using WinGetState() on a window that is not maximized returns proper value. When window is mazimized, WinGetState again returns the proper value. Now when i use WinMove to restore its original size/position and then want to maximize it again, WinGetState() still returns 47 when i expect it to return 15 (1+2+4+8).

1 = Window exists

2 = Window is visible

4 = Window is enabled

8 = Window is active

16 = Window is minimized

32 = Window is maximized

Case $Button_Maximize
  $Var = WinGetState($GUI)
  MsgBox(0,"",$Var)
  If $Var <47 Then
    WinSetState($GUI, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
  Else 
    WinMove($GUI, "", -1, -1, 200, 200) ; but i'm using 'IniRead' for all size and positions
  EndIf

All i need to do is toggle between maximized and the last window state.

If you only need to toggle between the max and previus size then use @SW_RESTORE.

If you change the size of a maximised window with Winmove you will notice that the resize icon still says that it's maximised.

I think I've overcome this before by forcing the window to redraw itself. I'll check and get back.

If you just want to mimic the action of the Maximize/Restore button, you can use the Toggle_Maximize function below, which tested out okay on a gui that can be maximized:

Func _ToggleMaximize()
    If (BitAND(WinGetState($GUI), 32) == 32) Then
        WinSetState($GUI, "", @SW_RESTORE)
    Else
        WinSetState($GUI, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    EndIf
EndFunc

thanks Martin.

so can this be considered an AU3 bug, or is this behavior regulated by the OS?

i didn't notice the resize icon state because i have no titlebar in this particular GUI

Basically, to cut a long story short, I was talking nonsense. If a window is maximised then its state is maximised. If a window is adjusted to a new size then it is not maximised even if the size is its maximum. It's a feature of the operating system and nothing to do with AutoIt.

Maximising a window makes it the smaller of its maximum allowed size and the desktop and sets it into the maximised state of course. When a window is maximised you cannot resize by dragging the borders, and if it is the desktop size then you cannot drag it with the title bar, at least in XP.
