how to create a max frame

I try following code, window is display as max, but self.GetSize()
always (400, 250)
I need real max frame, frame display as max and GetSize() as max.

class ImageFrame(wx.Frame):
    """Frame class, main window."""
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, "Image Change",
size=(-1,-1), style=wx.MAXIMIZE | wx.MAXIMIZE_BOX | wx.RESIZE_BORDER|
wx.MINIMIZE_BOX | wx.CLOSE_BOX)
        print "Create a Frame instance"
        print self.GetSize()

So thank you!

Have you tried calling self.ShowFullScreen(True) ?

self.ShowFullScreen(True) : show full screen is ok. and self.GetSize() is ok.
I need application start with max window. and self.GetSize()
return max window size.
When is use Maximize(), display as max window but self.GetSize()
return (400, 250).
I need self.GetSize() to calculator widget layout size.

Do your layout in the EVT_SIZE handler instead of in the __init__. There should be an EVT_SIZE when the window is first shown and also when it is maximized (by either method).

Sounds like you need to switch to using sizers rather than
calculating the widget layout for yourself.

start app as max window is OS problem.
void Maximize(Bool maximize)
Maximizes the frame if maximize is TRUE, otherwise restores it (MS
Windows only).

with MS Windows: display as max window and self.GetSize() return value
is max window size.
with linux/GTK: display as max window but self.GetSize() return value
is (400, 250)

Don’t know how to avoid this OS problem.
Next I will try EVT_SIZE handler.
