Standalone--any way to lock window size?
Dec 22 2010 | 11:26 pm
Hello,
Is there any way to "lock" the size of a standalone's presentation window, so that the user can't drag it bigger or smaller?
And furthermore, I'm curious about something like "Endless", by Giorgio Sancristoforo--clearly made in Max, but what further sort of programming would allow a Max-originated standalone to function like that, i.e. a fixed window size, nothing in the upper menu items allowing to open the Max window, etc. etc.?
Thanks

I am triggering that message to the thispatcher with a loadbang. The patch is set to open in presentation mode. Still, when I save as a standalone app (or save the patcher for that matter) upon opening it I can still expand and shrink the window. A little help please? Must be something simple!
