1. size a window to full screen
At one time, I had a snippet that I would cut and paste to get the dimensions of
the user's screen and then set the dimensions of a window being created to full
screen.
I can't seem to find it anywhere on my computer...OR in the archives....I got it
SOMEWHERE from the rapideuphoria site..I just can't remember where.
Does anyone else have that snippet..or know where it is...or can tell me how to
do it, again?
Thanks,
Michelle

I actually wrote a Full Screen Demo a while back. It should be in the
archives. It makes the window truely full screen, with no titlebar and no
Alt+F4. Everything is already done for you, all it takes is a call to
setFullScreen( MyWin, True ) to go full screen, and there is a function
called isFullScreen( MyWin ).

ok..I found that one...but for some reason it wouldn't work..it would go full
screen and then immediately pop back down to the size that was set in the
declaration.
The snippet that I had actually got a variable to use for the x and y values in
the window variable declaration.
It SEEMS like it had a function or procedure that was something like
getScreen....but I can't remember...is there a command that gets the size of the
users screen? If I knew a command for that, I could make it myself, but I can't
find a command to get the size of the user's screen.

Also, to get screen resolution, call getSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)
for horizontal resolution, and getSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) for
vertical resolution.

6. Re: size a window to full screen
The simplest way to go 'fullscreen' is this ...
hWnd = getHandle(id)
VOID = w32Func( xSetWindowLong,{ hWnd, GWL_STYLE, WS_POPUP })
VOID = w32Func( xShowWindow, { hWnd, SW_MAXIMIZE } )
