"minimize" the Spec Window

When a database is opened, in either Search or Add Data mode, is there a way to force the database to open with the Spec Window "minimized"? In other words, start with the Menu Tree Window maximized?

Thanks

You could try setting:
Code
Select All
COMMAND TREE HEIGHT: 445
 


in your client's sesame.ini file. That number worked for a standard starting height for Sesame. It grows the button panel / command tree downward, pushing the spec handler down and away. On Linux it produces a harmless X11 warning, probably because the spec handler is too small to draw into, but otherwise seems okay. I didn't try it on Windows, yet. It might need adjustment. There may be side effects.

Pretty cool Mark,

I did have to play with the number a little bit for each computer, one XP, and one Win 7, but it worked on both. Customer is going to be real happy with you! if they report any strange things happening, I'll report back.

Thank you,

Brandon

P.S. - Thanks also for being there today!

*EDIT* - Does this make any sense? I found that it only works in Runtime on the XP machine and not in Designer...works fine for both on my Win 7 machine.
