>>Can you show your idea in more details? I was thinking, that perhaps you can originally set window position outside the screen, then the preview appears, re-set top and left coordinates of the window. But it's just a vague idea, I don't see a clear implementation yet.

>>>Because we have serveral dozen reports, I used a slightly different approuch. If the output is a preview, a timer is created (interval = 1 sec). Then when the preview appears, it is maximized and the is stopped. This mazimizes it on openning but still allows the user to resize.

I see, interesting, thanks. I thought you combined in WINDOW idea with the timer.
