Chrome App Disable Window Resizing

[Lazar Nikolov]

Hello guys,

I'm making a Chrome App, but I want to disable window resizing. Can you guys show me how do to that? Also I want to disable Right-Click in the app, so the users won't "Inspect My Elements".

Thank you guys!

Lazar Nikolov

Hi Lazar, 

The elements are only inspectable when the Tools -> Extensions window is in "Developer Mode".  But even then, you're wasting your time. We can just go in our profile directory and look at the code.  People worry too much about stuff like that:

1. We all learn from each other all the time, and in fact, you wouldn't be able to build your app right now without my help and I wouldn't have built mine without someone else's.

2.  If someone is going to try to reverse engineer your app and copy it, they are inferior to you, and they're going to provide very poor service to their customers and lose in the end.  Why? Because they're losers who can't put in the effort without theft, and they have no gumption.  You, on the other hand, will win. So put your energy into your product and your customers and forget about those who have no heart. :)

As for disabling window resizing, check the bounds property on chrome.app.window.create, https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_window#type-Bounds.  The idea is you set the minHeight and maxHeight to be a fixed value, and do the same with minWidth and axWidth.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

James

Okay James,

Thanks for the help. The Right-Click disabling was just an option, I didn't need it much. I'll take a look at the link you provided, I hope it'll help me.

Thanks again,

Lazar Nikolov

To stop a window being resizable, set the resizable flag to false when you create the window. Documentation is here: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_window#type-CreateWindowOptions.

Anyway I set the min-max Width and the min-max Height values to fixed ones, but my window is still resizing. Here's a photo of proof, maybe I got something wrong so fix me up.
