Maximizing the playbasic window?

[Draco9898]

Yes, I have no clue how to do this? I would think It's inside User32.dll, but I have no idea what command inside the dll to wrap for.

Maximise screen in Windows mode

thank you very much. Maybe it's asking too much, but Is there a way to make it always appear in front of the taskbar as well?

See -> Screen Styles

Oh whoops missed that, yes. This fixes all my graphics dramas inside full screen exclusive mode and gives users a choice between that and full/normal window.

Here we go:

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

FUNCTION MaxWindow()
   `Get the cur win handle
   wHnd=GETSCREENHANDLE()
   IF wHND
      ThisDll=GETFREEDLL()
      LOADDLL "user32",ThisDll

      IF GETDLLSTATUS(ThisDll)
         ;  Call the ShowWindow Function with MAX 
         `Set window to maximize
         SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3      
         CALLDLL ThisDll,"ShowWindow", wHND, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
         `window varibles; Make window top, stationary AND max screen size
         HWND_TOPMOST = -1: SWP_NOMOVE = 2: SWP_NOSIZE = 1
         CALLDLL ThisDll,"SetWindowPos", wHND, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE 

         DELETEDLL ThisDll
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
ENDFUNCTION

Yes, I feel like such a newbie, but is there a list of all functions inside user32 and their params?

Yeah, it's called the Windows SDK :)

I see, I never have tinkered with the windows stuff, not that I really like to :P
