61928 - [RFE] minimise (maximise, restore ) functions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 30529

(Core :: XUL, enhancement, P3)

Description

[rvj]

Seems that one or more (javascript?) functions should be available for mimicing 
the standard window resizing buttons given that XUL based apps may not want to 
display the system supplied title bar  (titlebar=no)

1. window.minimise()
2. window.restore()
3. window.maximise()


I realise that the last two can be perform by ResizeTo however I am not sure of 
the XP implications. e.g. In Windows the task bar affects the available window 
area.

 Certainly I can find no locale independent means of minimising a window 
through code.

  We do need to add this functionality to support windows without OS chrome. 
We've even coded it up a couple of times and lost the patch through various 
catastrophes. Not sure what milestone to put this under...

please note I filed a related RFE to remove the system menu  available via by 
right click 65173

This bug appears to depend on bug 30529, which hasn't seen attention for over a
year, and with pavlov working on Libpr0n....

Also, [e-mail] mentioned bug 65173 as RFE for removal of system menu,
though that bug is about SSL/TLS, maybe a type

BTW

It looks like I had a typo with my reference to the system menu RFE

It looks like it should have been 61573 (suppression of system menu)

Apologies

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've

To me it does not appear to be duplicate of  bug 30529.

It depends on it.

If it was a duplicate then today we should have the corresponding JavaScript
functions to perform the window functions.

I can't see that.

1. window.minimise()
2. window.restore()
3. window.maximise()

???

Okay, so, indeed this was requesting that these be made available from 
script in web content. The other bug did implement these methods, but 
only made them available to chrome, and not to web content. Statements
in the other bug made it very clear that the module owner and others were
not going to ever make these available to web content. 

This bug could be reopened as 'not a duplicate', but its fate at that point 
would be either 'wontfix' or 'future, as in never'. Sorry.

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement.  They have the same meaning.
