# wxMaximizeEvent(3erl)

Functions for wxMaximizeEvent class

## NAME

wxMaximizeEvent - Functions for wxMaximizeEvent class

## DESCRIPTION

An event being sent when a top level window is maximized. Notice that it is not sent when the window is restored to its original size after it had been maximized, only a normal *wxSizeEvent* is generated in this case.

Currently this event is only generated in wxMSW, wxGTK and wxOSX/Cocoa ports so portable programs should only rely on receiving *wxEVT\_SIZE* and not necessarily this event when the window is maximized.

See: Overview events, *wxTopLevelWindow:maximize/2*, *wxTopLevelWindow:isMaximized/1*

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: *wxEvent*

wxWidgets docs: wxMaximizeEvent

## EVENTS

Use *wxEvtHandler:connect/3* with *wxMaximizeEventType* to subscribe to events of this type.

## DATA TYPES

```
wxMaximizeEvent() = wx:wx_object()
```

```
wxMaximize() =
    #wxMaximize{type = wxMaximizeEvent:wxMaximizeEventType()}
```

```
wxMaximizeEventType() = maximize
```
