Maximizing a dialog

Is it possible to force a Dialog to open in the maximized state?

If the dialog is modal it could be done but it would be complicated. If the dialog is non-modal, just add a WindowAction> line. Here's a sample script:

Dialog>Dialog1
Caption=Test Dialog
Width=287
Height=154
Top=57
Left=469
Edit=msEdit1,50,24,191,This is a test
Button=Ok,104,64,75,25,5
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>dialog1
WindowAction>1,Test Dialog

Label>ActionLoop
GetDialogAction>dialog1,r1
If>r1=2,exit
If>r1=5,continue
Wait>0.01
Goto>ActionLoop

Label>continue
/////Do stuff
Mdl>Work... work... work...

Label>exit

Hope this is helpful,
Dick
