Best way to go fullscreen?
-
I want to use GDI to draw some images in a "fullscreen" mode. What is the best way to do this? When I seem to hide pieces of my form turn it black and make it the resolution of the monitor there seems to be a "pause" when covering up the start menu. This makes me think I'm not approaching it the right way. Anyone know the proper way to do this?

Just resize your window so that the non client areas are outside the bounds of the screen. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I order to switch to a "fullscreen" mode you must set the Window class's
dwExStyle=WS_EX_APPWINDOW;
dwStyle=WS_POPUP;And force the window to fill the entire screen. I think the changes to the window class I mentioned above can be achived if you set the border property of a window to none. And, if you have problems with the TaskBar, set the TopMost property to true ;) I hope you understand...because is a rough world out there...
