Outlook mailItem fullscreen

Question

I create an outlook mailItem like this,

Outlook.Application outlookApp = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = (Outlook.MailItem)outlookApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
mailItem.Subject = mailSubject;
mailItem.Attachments.Add(totalPath);
mailItem.Body = mailBody;
mailItem.Importance = Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceNormal;


//Edit:
mailItem.Open += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(mailItem_open(mailItem));

mailItem.Display(true);
outlookApp.ItemSend += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_ItemSendEventHandler(OutlookApplication_ItemSend);

mailitem_open:

private static Outlook.ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler mailItem_open(Outlook.MailItem mailItem)
    {
        mailItem.GetInspector.WindowState = Outlook.OlWindowState.olMaximized;
        return null;
    }

When i display the mailitem to get edited by the user, i want the new email to display fullscreen.

Is this even possible? Because i can't find the answer anywhere.

EDIT: see my edit in the code, when i added this row before or after the mailitem.Display(true); the message 'The window isn't opened right now'

You can set the WindowState property of the Inspector class to the olMaximized value. Use the GetInspector method of the MailItem class to get an instance of the Inspector class.
