wyrd Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Is there any way to make your program go into full screen mode (as well as change the resolution) with windows api? Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
*Experts* Volte Posted August 15, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 15, 2003 You can change the res. with [api]ChangeDisplaySettings[/api], I believe. And there is no real "full screen" mode. I believe most full screen apps are just windows which are sized to fit the screen. Quote
*Experts* Nerseus Posted August 15, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 15, 2003 If you remove the Form's border, the caption, and any system buttons (ControlBox, Minimize, Maximize) and set the WindowState to Maximized, it will go "full screen", even over the task bar. To change the resolution, you could use ChangeDisplaySettings as mentioned above - but remember that if they Alt-Tab to another window you *may* want to resize back - or prevent them from using Alt-Tab. -Ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
