Controlling the size of the workbench window
Follow these steps to change the default size of the workbench window:
- From the Navigator or Package Explorer view, open the HostAccessWorkbenchWindowAdvisor class located in the hostaccess package of the com.ibm.hats.rcp.runtime.extension plug-in project.
- Find the preWindowOpen() method and
change the parameter passed to the setInitializeSize method of the IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer object. For
example, to set the initial window size to 800 pixels wide and 600
pixels tall, update or add the following code:
public void preWindowOpen() { IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer(); configurer.setInitialSize(new Point(800, 600)); ... }
To automatically maximize the workbench window by default when
it is opened, implement the postWindowCreate() method of
the HostAccessWorkbenchWindowAdvisor class:
public void postWindowCreate() {
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().
getShell().setMaximized(true);
}
