Close FullScreen with MouseMove Event (video)

[ColdandUgly]

Seems like this should be easy enough.

 

Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove
       If boolFull = True Then
           Try
               mobjVideo.Fullscreen = False
               boolFull = False
           Catch ex As Exception
               MsgBox(ex.ToString)
           End Try
       End If
   End Sub

 

 

 

But this doesn't work...

When you say

doesn't work

could you give a little more detail as to what you are expecing to happen.

If you step through in the debbuger is boolFull = true?

Re:

 

Sorry.

 

Doesn't work means it doesn't leave fullscreen mode.

I was unable to check mobjVideo.Fullscreen as Boolean

So to determine if the video was playing at full screen I set a boolean variable.

 

Private Sub cmdFull_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdFull.Click
       Try
           mobjVideo.Fullscreen = True
           boolFull = True
       Catch ex As Exception
           MsgBox(ex.ToString)
       End Try
       Debug.Write(boolFull)
   End Sub

 

The debug log shows

false

fasle

false

false

false

true <- set full screen

false <- subsequently moved the mouse

 

boolFull is declared in the General declarations as boolean.

And looks like it holds its value.

I am geissing the following 'false' is because I moved the mouse in full screen mode.

 

But DX didn't return the window to normal view.

Um, I just realized there was a (sub) forum for DirectX inside this forum. This post should be moved.

The simple reason is that once your in full screen, you can't writ back to the video object. (At least, thats what im told)

 

Check this article on the video obect, and what to do in your case:
