I'm having a problem re-sizing my window.

Post by nyc »

I am using PWB(v2.06) on a Win7 machine.
It is set with "KioskMode = True" which makes it full-screen, which is fine.
A link will then open a second smaller window that I drag to the left, which is fine.
Later, a link will open a third window that is a smaller size than preferred.

I've tried changing the values of...
[Browser]
Window Height
[Second Window]
Window Height

...however neither will change the height of that window.

Any ideas?

You should start by upgrading to the current version of PWB, version 2.11.9 as version 2.06 is almost 10 years old.

Upgrading to the current version of PWB v2:

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your reply.

I actually had downloaded and installed v.2.11 previously.
However, in addition to the window-sizing problem explained above, I encounter an additional dialog-window problem.
When the "File Download"-dialog-window appears, it shows up behind all other windows.
This would happen even with the following 'Dialogs' value:

[Dialogs]
AlwaysOnTop=True

When I used PWB v.2.6, the "File Download"-dialog-window would appear on-top so I decided to stick with v.2.6.
If it could work with v.2.11, I'd luv to stay with the more up-to-date version, of course.

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.

-Ron

Do you have a URL as an example where the Download Dialog would appear behind the window?

Using an unedited INI file with PWB v2.11.9, does the Download Dialog appear behind the window?

Unfortunately, I do not have a url as an example because we run this on an intranet site,
but I can email you the .ini we are using.

As you suggested, I tried using an unedited version of the .ini,
and the dialog-window did not appear behind the existing window,
which would be what we'd like.

I then edited an unedited .ini line-by-line until I found the cause.
It is this line:

[SecondWindow]
AlwaysOnTop=True

The problem is, we require that the second window (a small chat window) always remain at the front.
Oddly enough, we did not encounter this problem with the same values assigned in PWB v2.6.

I can email you both .ini (v2.6 & v2.11) for you to look over.

And, as I've said before, we are unable to change the window sizes with values...
[Browser]
Window Height
[Second Window]
Window Height

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Unfortunately it is not possible for us go back 10 years to update version 2.06 so our only option is to try and update the current version to make it work for you. In order to do this we will need to either find a site that exhibits the same behavior you are seeing that we can access, or to create a site to simulate it.
