Full Screen/Windowed Mode

Has anyone got an example of a game that can run in full-screen and windowed and when in windowed mode it accepts close, minimise, loss of focus etc?

I ask because I did all this in blitz plus for my Bonus games and it was a pain and I'd really like to save time on this, as all pro games must have these capabilities.

thanks in advance.

By 'windowed mode' are we talking MaxGUI?

From the code archives, how to create windowed mode w close/min http://www.blitzmax.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1595

Assari was faster than me... ;)

Hope this code does what you need.
If not please reask, as I'm not quite sure what you mean.

thanks, I'll check that out. What I mean is I want to write one set of game code that runs the same in full-screen OR windowed mode. If you have a game, it normally launches in full-screen mode but the user can choose to change to windowed mode and the game should be the same. I don't need windowed mode for a GUI app, it's for a game. I achieved this in BlitzPLus by calling graphics and then using API calls to add on a close button and minimise button etc.

Grisu: Yeah that's 100% what I needed thanks (i.e. call to graphics, then code can still use Flip), hours of hair pulling saved. a ctually you did it pretty much like I did in BlitzPlus.

ooh, Grisu, the only thing is your code is 100% NON-Mac compatible right? So how can the same thing be achieved on a mac?

I would like to know how to do this cross-platform as well.

I'm no mac guru. But you should be able with the help of the MAXGUI module!

EVENT_WINDOWSIZE:
Switch fullscreen when app is resized in any way

EVENT_APPTERMINATE or EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE:
End the app

App_suspended():
App is in minimized state / idle loop

Get my idea?

Hmm, uh, maybe I'll ask Indiepath, bet he's done it. It's just I need to make sure mac users can run the game full-screen or windowed mode and that I can still draw graphics and call Flip etc, I don't want it to be event an event driven GUI or something yet I do need to respond to those events you listed.

You don't need a bmxgui in your game. You can just use these commands and everything else as a normal app.

ok, thanks, problem is I don't have a Mac to test on!!

Me too. :(

Ask Tim, perhaps he knows more... :)
