I've added new background properties 'minimized' and 'maximized' for=20
release 0.8.2, so Alex's code examples above become:
def on_initialize(self, event):
self.minimized =3D True
self.minimized =3D False
to check the state, just check the property self.minimized, this is=20
identical to how the visible property works for backgrounds. Remember=20
that there are also minimize, maximize, and restore events for the=20
background so you can respond to the user changing the window if=20
needed. The change was simple, so you can add the following lines below=20=
the visible property line in model.py if you would like:
maximized =3D property(wx.Frame.IsMaximized, wx.Frame.Maximize,=20
doc=3D"whether the background window is maximized")
minimized =3D property(wx.Frame.IsIconized, wx.Frame.Iconize,=20
doc=3D"whether the background window is minimized")
