Open browser window

[nithinraja]

Hi All,
I am working using node-webkit i need to open a window in browser in full screen (All browser window option enabled). Now i have specified the below config in package.json so i cant able to open a new window. Any idea?

Package.json:

{
"main": "index.html",
"name": "demo",
"window": {
"width":230,
"height": 400,
"position": "mouse",
"min_width": 230,
"min_height": 400,
"max_width": 400,
"max_height": 400,
"toolbar":true,
"frame":false,
"show":false
}
}

If you need your primary window to go fullscreen initially, specify "fullscreen": true in window, see the wiki for details.

Alternatively, use require('nw.gui').Window.get().enterFullscreen(), see the wiki for details.

If you specify "show":false the window will be hidden.

Hello Zcbenz,
I have one main window that contains tool bar and frame in false mode,
then i opened one child window by using like this

var new_win = gui.Window.get(
window.open('https://google.com')
);

I need to set frame and toolbar true for child window not in main window(parent).
Please confirm me is it possible or not??

[zcbenz]

It's not possible for now, I'll add a Window.open API to implement it.

[anandh]

Ya thanks,
In which version this feature will going to implement??

[zcbenz]

In v0.3.3, if there are no other high-priority bugs.

Hi All,
Is there is any option to open a default browser with full browser options by clicking the link like "Forgot Password" or "Go to Website".

Hoping for this to reach us soon - so my chromeless main window can open its content-editor window with chrome :-)

[zcbenz]

Just found this issue is closed...

Reopen to track the implementation of Windows.open.

With all the lovely new fields in the manifest its now possible to crash the app by setting things that should be mutually exclusive like "width: 200, height: 200, kiosk=true, fullscreen=false, resizable=false" would result in ... what?

[jorgenskogmo]

Hi, i use the following simple function to toggle in and out of kioskmode:

var _kioskmode = false;
function toggleKioskmode(){
    if( _kioskmode ){
        win.leaveKioskMode();
    }else{
        win.enterKioskMode();
    }
    _kioskmode = !_kioskmode;
}

Problem is, if I reload the page while in kioskmode, the _kioskmode var is (re)set to false again...

Also, if calling win.leaveKioskMode() when we have not entered it, makes the window disappear...!

Something like win.getKioskMode(), wich would return a boolean would be good.

(Using 0.3.2, only tested on Mac).

[zcbenz]

Got it, I'll add a toggleKioskMode() and toggleFullscreen().

[darsain]

Also boolean status properties would be amazing, like isFullscreen, isKioskMode, isMinimized, ...

[Mithgol]

That would be a step forward.

But, on the second thought, what exactly would you do with those properties? Check them in setTimeout handler regularly? Not very efficient.

It could be made better if we could listen to some events like require('nw.gui').Window.get().on('fullscreen', ...) or require('nw.gui').Window.get().on('restore', ...) as #201 implies.

[Mithgol]

And if the wiki article “Window” is correct, you already can. There are events.

(Except for the kiosk mode, that is.)

• Instead of checking some isMinimized, listen for 'minimize' and 'restore' events.
• Instead of checking some isFullscreen, listen for 'enter-fullscreen' and 'leave-fullscreen' events.

[Mithgol]

On the third thought, properties like isFullscreen, isKioskMode, isMinimized are useful nevertheless, they could be used to get the initial state before you start listening to the corresponding events.

This is mistakenly closed, reopen again.

Done, for addition documents for Window API see this.
