    In windows? I don't think that you can do this without using some graphics mode, or maybe using direct x or somehting.

    You can, i just dont know how. And in windows, theres only one mode. This kind of thing is usually used with games.

    To make a fullscreen like in the games, use OpenGL or DirectX.

    What does that have to do with switching to full screen?

    When you call CreateWindow (or CreateWindowEx), pass "WS_POPUP | WS_MAXIMIZE" as the "dwStyle" parameter. That will give you a fullscreen window with no border. There is a VB tutorial for switching the screen resolution somewhere on VB-World, which you can easily translate into C++.
