1. RE: [Win32] Fullscreen
I know there's a Win32Lib demo out there that simulates fullscreen by
hiding the task bar and maximizing the window... Otherwise you might
want to look into using a DirectX type of library (Exotica, euSDL,
euAllegro, etc...) to access true fullscreen modes.
If you are using Win32Lib, here are some routines for hiding/showing the
mouse cursor:
------------------------------
-- hides mouse cursor when it is over your window
------------------------------
global procedure hideMouse()
integer t
-- hide mouse cursor
if w32Func( xShowCursor, { 0 } ) < -1 then
-- cursor already hidden so increment counter to original state
t = w32Func( xShowCursor, { -1 } )
end if
end procedure
------------------------------
-- shows hidden mouse cursor
------------------------------
global procedure showMouse()
integer t
-- show mouse cursor
if w32Func( xShowCursor, { -1 } ) > 0 then
-- cursor already shown so decrement counter to original state
t = w32Func( xShowCursor, { 0 } )
end if
end procedure

The simple solution is in the call to WinMain():
WinMain(myWindow, Maximized)

3. RE: [Win32] Fullscreen
Ok, and set the attributes of the window so it has no header, no border, no
buttons etc...
How do I hide the taskbar?
