Hi.

In the Ribbonbar tutorial ( https://docs.appeon.com/appeon_online_help/pb2019r2/pbug/ch13s03.html#_Add_the_RibbonBar ), it says that you must uncheck the control menu of the sheet windows.

How does the user manage the size of sheets windows (maximized, minimized, normal) ? 

In the demo application (sales_application_demo) the sheets windows are always displayed maximized. We can't reduce them. This operation prohibits drag & drop between sheets.

If the control menu is left activated during the maximization, the reduction and closing buttons are displayed above the menu and a line is lost.

How can you use the Ribbonbar with MDI application ?

Thierry

If you don't like the control menu for your sheet displaying above the ribbon, you'll have to fix this by adding "control menu" features in the ribbon itself. All you have to do is add buttons in the ribbon to change the window state of the current sheet.

Sure, it doesn't matter to me. If Thierry wants to use MDI with the Ribbon, the options I provided are probably his easiest options. The other option is to prevent maximizing and use Layering instead.

Hi

In the previous version of Powerbuilder, I prevent the maximization of sheet windows...

But since R2, the maximized button of sheets window (and minimized...) does not send events to the window.

I can no longer intercept them.

Do you have a solution to do that in Pb2019 R2 ?

Regards

The resize event would trigger. The WindowState property would be updated by that point.
