TITLE :SAMPLE: Adding a Full Screen Feature to an MFC Application
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) included with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
The FSCRN sample includes code that you can use to add a Full Screen
feature to a Visual C++ 4.x MFC Application. This is similar to what you
see when you select the Full Screen menu item in Microsoft Developer
Studio. The code shows which functions must be created and demonstrates how
you can create a floating toolbar, which you can click to undo the Full
Screen mode.

MORE INFORMATION
================
The sample code below has been added to the CMainFrame class of the
AppWizard-generated application. Here is a list of the 4 functions and what
they accomplish:
OnViewFullScreen - Handler for the Full Screen menu item.
OnGetMinMaxInfo - Traps the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message to allow you to
increase the size of the window.
IsFullScreen- Tests whether the application is in full screen mode.
OnUpdateViewFullScreen - Checks or unchecks the Full Screen menu item
depending on the mode the application is in.
Sample Code
-----------
void CMainFrame::OnViewFullScreen()
{
RECT rectDesktop;
WINDOWPLACEMENT wpNew;
if (!IsFullScreen())
{
// need to hide all status bars
m_wndStatusBar.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
m_wndToolBar.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
// We'll need these to restore the original state.
GetWindowPlacement (&m_wpPrev);
m_wpPrev.length = sizeof m_wpPrev;
//Adjust RECT to new size of window
::GetWindowRect ( ::GetDesktopWindow(), &rectDesktop );
::AdjustWindowRectEx(&rectDesktop, GetStyle(), TRUE, GetExStyle());
// Remember this for OnGetMinMaxInfo()
m_FullScreenWindowRect = rectDesktop;
wpNew = m_wpPrev;
wpNew.showCmd = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
wpNew.rcNormalPosition = rectDesktop;
m_pwndFullScrnBar=new CToolBar;
if(!m_pwndFullScrnBar->Create(this,CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC|CBRS_FLOATING)
|| !m_pwndFullScrnBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_FULLSCREEN))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return; // fail to create
}
//don't allow the toolbar to dock
m_pwndFullScrnBar->EnableDocking(0);
m_pwndFullScrnBar->SetWindowPos(0,100,100,
0,0,SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOACTIVATE|SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

lpMMI->ptMaxTrackSize.x = lpMMI->ptMaxSize.x;
}
}
