Electron Diable Minimize
This module allow you to set the window attached to the HWND handle to disable minimized.
Electron indeed have a minimizable: false
but it minimized at Windows + D (Show Desktop) Event.
This module uses the following c++ code. (Thanks to tordex)
HWND nWinHandle = FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, "Progman", NULL);
nWinHandle = FindWindowEx(nWinHandle, NULL, "SHELLDLL_DefView", NULL);
SetWindowLongPtr(hwnd, -8, (LONG_PTR)nWinHandle);
Installation
This module only works in windows, but installable mac and linux. (mac and linux nothing's going to happen.)
1. Install Module
npm i -S electron-disable-minimize # or yarn add electron-disable-minimize
2. Rebuild Package
"./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild" # rebuild native module
or you can rebuild automatically!
// package.json
...
"scripts": {
"install": "./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild"
}
...
npm install # it also run "./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild"
Usage
Look at the index.html, index.js and package.json file to integrate it into your Electron application
Basically it consists of 2 steps
- Include the module in your .js file:
import { DisableMinimize } from 'electron-disable-minimize';
- or -
const { DisableMinimize } = require('electron-disable-minimize');
- Create your Electron BrowserWindow
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
height: 800,
width: 800,
useContentSize: true,
transparent: !isDev,
frame: isDev,
focusable: isDev,
show: false
});
mainWindow.loadURL(__dirname + "/index.html");
mainWindow.show();
// get the native HWND handle
const handle = mainWindow.getNativeWindowHandle();
// disable minimize perfectly!
const isSuccess = DisableMinimize(handle);
console.log(isSuccess); // boolean
If false returned, disable minimize failed. (for the same reason as run in other platforms)
