Using Graphics vs. CreateWindow

I am working on a game and need to be able to run in either full screen (exclusive) mode or in a windowed mode. I have been using the Graphics command to do this without a problem. However, I also want to be able to have Buttons and other Gadgets on the screen. These all seem to require a Canvas, which requires a Panel, which requires a Window.

Is there a way to use the CreateWindow function to create a full screen exclusive window?

TBH, I don't know, but I do know that some of the standard commands that are available in Graphics mode are not available while using B+ GUI gadgets.

For instance, commands like KeyDown() don't work with Window gadgets.

It's kind of two different approaches to programming. One tailors to gaming, the other tailors to applications.

only thing I can come up with is the fullscreen game running in a canvas rather than a gfx-mode ..

this canvas is then on a window, flags to 0, the size of the desktop ...

for a 640x480 game on a hi-res screen you could stretch the canvas then... prolly not the best method as it'll blur a bit ..
