How to maximize the browser window in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using C#?

Question

Is there any way to maximize the browser window using WebDriver (Selenium 2) with C#?

Answer 1

The below line of code would maximize IE, Chrome and Mozilla

driver.manage().window().maximize();

The above line of code and other workarounds mentioned in the post did not work for NodeWebKit browser, so as a workaround i had to use native C# code as mentioned below:

public static void MaximiseNWKBrowser(IWebDriver d)
        {
            var body = UICommon.GetElement(By.TagName("body"), d);
            body.Click();
            string alt = "%";
            string space = " ";
            string down = "{DOWN}";
            string enter = "{ENTER}";
            SendKeys.SendWait(alt + space);
            for(var i = 1; i <= 6; i++)
            {
                SendKeys.SendWait(down);
            }
            SendKeys.SendWait(enter);            
        }

So this workaround basically uses "ALT+SPACE" to bring up the browser action menu to select "MAXIMIZE" from the options and presses "ENTER"
