Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to set Adobe Illustrator full screen/maximised using vbScript?

 

 

Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.27")

 

 

Or can this be done using Javascript? The goal is to enlarge the application window BEFORE a document is opened...

 

Thanx

Try to activate the application (if it is open, of course), open the window menu and select Maximize. All this via sendKeys. It worked for me.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.AppActivate("Adobe Illustrator")
WshShell.SendKeys "% " ' Send Alt+Space
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.SendKeys "{UP}"
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.SendKeys "{UP}"
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
