How to customize MI Client window size?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can modify the window size of the SAP MI Client? What we want to do is that when the user clicks on the MI Client "exe", it will open the MI Client window as a MAXIMIZED window (currently, the window size is not maximized and look quite small). Is there a setting somewhere that defines this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

hello jeff,

it is said to be supported by MI. however the maximized

mode seems not working properly as of SP14. im not sure

with the latest SP version. you can list up the supported

commandline options by running the following in command

prompt.

<b><MI_DIR>\MobileEngine.exe -?</b>

it will give you,

-v verbose mode

-t trace mode

-f maximized mode

-s minimized mode

and so on... try checking it out...

MI has a splash screen which cannot be removed by the

supported options. if the splash screen is not loaded

at startup, i.e. directly to the main MI form, you can

just run the following commandline to maximized the

window.

<b>start "" /MAX MobileEngine.exe</b>

with the splash screen loaded, only the splash screen will

be maximized and not the main form. if the -f option still

is not working properly, you can create an OSS; but if you

know VB, i would rather suggest to create your own native

MI executer just like the MobileEngine.exe and use the

startup and shutdown batch files...

Thanks for the detailed info, Jo! I tried what you suggested, and you are right. I'm currently on MI 2.5 SP15, and that feature (-f) to maximize the window does not work. This is so unfortunate. Do you know if future versions will have this fixed?

hello jeff,

i don't have any idea... perhaps the MI developers or the

PM can give you the answer.
