Question

I need to open and also need to able to close a IE window, so I use

Proc = Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE", WebLink)

and

Proc.Kill()

However, I also need to make the IE size to be maximum. How I can do that? Thanks

I would suggest using the Process.Start() overload that accepts a ProcessStartInfo as the parameter. Starting your process using this will allow you to set the ProcessStartInfo.WindowStyle property to control the window style that the process is to be started with.

If the above doesn’t work, you can try to maximize the window by using ShowWindow() with the SW_MAXIMIZE flag. In order to use native methods from within your managed executable, you will need to use P/Invoke. To get the window handle, you can try using the Process.MainWindowHandle property. If this still doesn’t work you can try using EnumWindows() to iterate through all of the open windows, checking if they’re owned by your created process by comparing the process ID (Process.Id) to the window’s parent process ID (GetWindowThreadProcessId()).
