There is no maximize button to make the dialog full screen about office-add-in-dialog-api-simple-example

@Rick-Kirkham, @LezaMax: I've searched through this repository and don't see where ms-Dialog is used to create a Dialog component.Do you know where the Dialog is created? There's no built-in support for maximizing a Dialog to full screen, but I may be able to point @webdroidco in the right direction to overriding the CSS to achieve this.

[webdroidco]

Yes, exactly. I wasn't able to see any code with which the dialog is created.
Should I wait now for @Rick-Kirkham and @LezaMax so that they can tell you where exactly the code is?

@webdroidco
The dialog is created with the line Office.context.ui.displayDialogAsync( ... ) in the file DialogHelper.js. You can set the width and height with the options parameter to that function. (The values are percentages of the screen.)
ms-Dialog is a Fabric thing that is not related to the Dialog APIs which this sample is about. I recommend that you read Dialog API in Office Add-ins

[webdroidco]

@Rick-Kirkham Well, I am a newbie in Add-ins so that is why I am not able to follow your instructions properly. But please let me know if there is anyway (ANY) that we can add maximize button beside close button to make the dialog full screen (100% of the screen)?

[Rick-Kirkham]

There isn't a way to do that with the Dialog APIs. I'm not familiar with the Fabric dialog component, so I don't know if there's a way to do it with that component.

@Rick-Kirkham
Is it possible to play Youtube or Vimeo video in this dialog and when clicking on the full-screen button, the screen becomes full size?

[Rick-Kirkham]

I don't think so, but there is a sample here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-Add-in-UX-Design-Patterns-Code/tree/master/templates/first-run/video-placemat which opens a video in a dialog. You could run it and see what happens with the full screen button.

[webdroidco]

Nothing happen with the full screen button. The dialog size remains the same. :(
