What are you trying to accomplish? Preventing users from minimizing the client window? Is this a Vision client or Perspective client?

We often minimize the client, when there are some events, or receive message, maximize the window to the desktop ( vision)

This code should give you a start:

> [@Max Window size in different monitors](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/max-window-size-in-different-monitors/32030/3):
>
> Do you mean full screen mode where the window fills the whole screen with no title bar? If so, the code below on a button will swap the desktop the button is contained in between full screen and windowed modes. from javax.swing import JFrame window = system.gui.getParentWindow(event) while not isinstance(window, JFrame): window = window.getParent() if window.isUndecorated(): # Switch to windowed mode. window.dispose() window.setUndecorated(False) window.setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL) #…

You'll need to figure out how to capture your triggers for maximizing, get the parent JFrame of the window, and then just use this part, where `window` is the parent JFrame you want to maximize:

```auto
window.setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL)

```

This thread is about _Vision_. Your question is about _Perspective_. I suggest you open an new thread, tag it as `perspective` and explain exactly what you are trying to do.
