Manipulate glfw windows from python when using hello-imgui

[Aman-Anas]

I am using the python bindings with hello_imgui, and trying out the borderless window feature. I was wondering if it is possible to maximize the window (like when using WindowSizeState.maximized on startup) during runtime.

This would allow me to add a maximize button to the menu bar. Minimize functionality would also be great, if it's possible.

(My use case is that I need to display a prompt if the user tries to close the application, and using borderless window gives me control over this. Plus it looks great :D)

Try this:

"""Demonstrates how to manipulate the glfw window created by HelloImGui.

 glfw_utils.glfw_window_hello_imgui is a function that returns the main glfw window used by HelloImGui
"""

from imgui_bundle import hello_imgui, imgui, glfw_utils
import glfw


def gui():
    imgui.text("Hello")
    if imgui.button("maximize window"):
        win = glfw_utils.glfw_window_hello_imgui()  # get the main glfw window used by HelloImGui
        glfw.maximize_window(win)


glfw.init()  # needed by glfw_utils.glfw_window_hello_imgui
hello_imgui.run(gui)

Thanks, having access to the glfw window handle solves pretty much all of my problems. :)

Reopening, as this is a FAQ issue.
