Looking for a way to minimize and maximize browser window for IE, Firefox and chrome

[Talwinder singh]

Hi All,

Is there a way to minimize and maximize a browser window using
webdriver or webdriverbackedselenium ?


It will be of great help for my test framework.

Thanks in Advance.

Method to Maximize window using webDriver:

public void maximise() {
               
        Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

         Dimension screenResolution = new Dimension((int)
                         toolkit.getScreenSize().getWidth(), (int)
                         toolkit.getScreenSize().getHeight());

         driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

}

Method to Maximize window using WebDriverBackedSelenium:

By creating the instance of WebDriverBackedSelenium we can use seleniumRC methods inside webdriver.

                    {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

                    url = "http://www.freepdfconvert.com/";

                  

                   driver.get(url);

                  

                   Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, url);

                   selenium.windowMaximize();

                   selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");

 
               }

I hope these two methods will work for you as well.

Warm Regards,
Ranjith Manne.

No, you can however resize the window (SO you can emulate maximise by
resizing the window to the screen size).

Hi I am using following code to maximize a window but it is not
working with Firefox 3.6.

driver.manage().window().maximize();

Try this

you have to provide the dimensions for the window size to maximize and its working for me on firefox 3.6

 Webdriver d = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

EventFiringWebDriver driver = new EventFiringWebDriver(d);

//driver.Manage().Window.Size = new Size(1024, 768);

          

set the window size in dimensions object

Dimension dd = new Dimension(1024, 768);

        driver.manage().window().setSize(dd);

This is the solution I use. I find out what the current screen size is
and resize the browser to the size of the screen. Not really
maximizing the window but close enough for most people:

public void maximizeWindow() {
Point targetPosition = new Point(0, 0);
driver.manage().window().setPosition(targetPosition);
String w = "return screen.availWidth";
String h = "return screen.availHeight";
int width = ((Long)driver.executeScript(w)).intValue();
int height = ((Long)driver.executeScript(h)).intValue();
Dimension targetSize = new Dimension(width, height);
driver.manage().window().setSize(targetSize);
}

This works on the browser I test with.

If maximize your window is not your exact goal, 

you can use awt Robot to keyPress and keyRelease (i.e. Windows key + D to minimize, Windows key + D again to restore window).

There's some usage:

robot = new Robot();

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);  

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);  

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB); 

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT); 

Hope it helps.

Victor, your example only shows clicking ALT+TAB... not sure how that would work, but I think you were just giving an example for the use of key presses.

If you want to use Robot to maximize, then this will work

//alt space x on windows maximizes
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);

//release opposite order
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_X);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_X);

Thanks a lot for all your replies..

It is working fine now . I am using following line
driver.manage().window().maximize();

HI,



I am able to do Maximize using

selenium.windowMaximize();

where selenium is a webdriverBackedSelenium instance , but still not
able to do Minimize.

Actually i need both the actions minimize and maximize to make sure
that the wend on which i am performing send key operations is in
focus .


I tried selenium.windowFocus() method but it doesn't seem to work.


By doing minimize and maximize operation the window will always come
in the foreground. So is there any way to minimize the browser
window ?
