Special keys sequence

When using the Web Recorder, how do I get the window to open in a maximized state? I would normally use ALT + SPACE + 'X' to have the window maximize, but those keys aren't available via Web Recorder.

Hello,

What you can do is, open your task in a Task Editor and after ‘Open Browser’ command insert ‘Keystrokes’ command to maximize the browser window. The sample text format of commands to do this will look something like this:
1) Open "http://www.yahoo.com"
2) Keystrokes: [ALT DOWN] [ALT UP] in "Yahoo! - Windows Internet Explorer"
3) Delay: (50 ms)
4) Keystrokes: x in "Currently Active Window"
Moreover, latest version of Automation Anywhere, Automation Anywhere 4.0 provides you with ‘Window Actions’ command that lets you work with windows and perform several operations that can be automated. Using this command you can, Activate Window, Close Window, Maximize Window, Minimize Window and Resize Window. These commands support wild card that you can specify in the window titles.
To maximize the browser window, insert ‘Maximize Window’ command after ‘Open Browser’ command. You can find ‘Window Actions’ command under ‘Programs/Files/Windows’ commands category. The sample text format of commands will look something like this:

1) Open “http://www.yahoo.com”
2) Maximize Window: " Yahoo! - Windows Internet Explorer "

Hope that helps.
