Can't consistently maximize WPF window

I have a minimized WPF window. I click the item in the taskbar to maximize. It makes a little audio ding, then I try again, and again. Usually about the third try it will maximize. What could cause it to refuse my initial maximize a开发者_JAVA百科ttempt?

One possibility is that you have some code that's changing the value of the ResizeMode property to NoResize.

Second, you might be overriding OnStateChanged and not calling base.OnStateChanged() consistently.

Third, you may have something hogging the UI's thread during your first attempts. Once that task--whatever it is--stops blocking then WPF can repaint the window in restored/maximized state.

I had a similar problem when trying to manually maximize a custom window. The solution was to put the next code in my maximize button...

this.SizeToContent = System.Windows.SizeToContent.Manual;
this.MaxWidth = double.PositiveInfinity;
this.MaxHeight = double.PositiveInfinity;
this.Width = double.NaN;
this.Height = double.NaN;
this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;

Where 'this' referes to the Window.
