Fullscreen problem...

[Ruku]

okay, I got a "fullscreen simulation" problem...

I got a program that is completelly in fullscreen and that runs over the windows taskbar, however, I need to shell another application that is not in fullscreen without making the taskbar appear above the main program running behind the new window...

Basically, having a fullscreen program and execute another like calc.exe from windows...

Thanks in advance, I hope it's clear enough... kinda hard to explain :s!

Umm, can you upload your project plz, it seems interesting and i want to take a look at the code, thx

That may not be possible. As you say, yours is a simulation of a full-screen app, not a genuine full-screen app, which I think requires DirectX, or at least some API use I would think.

[iehjsucker]

simply hide the task bar in your codes.

or at least some API use I would think.

Alright, then does anyone know how to go fullscreen using API?

Or truly hide the taskbar as iehjsucker mentionned?

Edit: I used direct-X before, but my application isn't oriented towards X objects... so API would be a better solution...
