    Arrow Fullscreen problem...

    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!

    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.

    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...
