A.M.

I would like to prevent the user to resize the window in the patch I'm building so I sent the message "window flags nogrow, window exec" to thispatcher.

While this works perfectly in the patch, the window is still resizable when I build the application. Is there a way to make it work in the app?

Other than that, I would like to explore ways to resize the application after the build so that it can adapt to different screen resolutions: is there a way to have Max resize the patch content dynamically when the window size moves? Could you point me to any object/documentation? I wasn't able to find much.

resizing the patch content according to the window size, no, not that i´d know of.

but otoh, when you resize the window based on 

, you could use that number to fix some other setting to at least roughly match to the window size.

But any idea on why "window flags nogrow, window exec" doesn't work when I build the application? It's driving me CRAZY.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks!

i am not building in max v7 so i cant tell if you did sth wrong or if it simply doesnt work.

have you tried yet to make a palette style window? ("window flags float" should remove the frame completely, at least on mac. )

Do you maybe have savewindow flag set to 1 ?

You could defer message to thispatcher, or repeat it after some time.

Max 7 on windows is a bit different than on mac when it comes to windows messages to thispatcher, but I can confirm that it all works,

Help file has all infos on zooming, resizing etc

Is there much going on on loadtime ?

just take care of timing.

That was it! I think I misunderstood the documentation, changed it to savewindow 0 and it works.

Amazing, thanks!
