Hi,

I am reposting my question of a few weeks ago because I got no response.

I was using this CDialog based baseclass STFullScreen from
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/stfullscreen.html

This worked fine on PPC 2002 but seems ineffective under PPC 2003.

It seems PPC 2003 behaves different enough with hiding start and sip menu's
and perhaps with windows positions or whatever, to cause my PPC 2002 app to
become useless.

In CE 4.2, my application comes up in full screen, but as soon as I click
anywhere in the screen, the menu bars appear again, and for some reason, I
can't even exit my application anymore, buttons click, but do not seem to
process messages, as the buttons animate, but do not seem to process the
on_click messages. Anyway, those are specifics to my source code and the
above mentioned base class I think so in general:

Can someone just tell me how to, or reference me to some resource, where I
can make full screen DIALOG BASED apps, which work on both PPC2002 (CE 3.x)
and PPC2003 (CE 4.2) ?

I used this code on CE 4.2 to show the dialog fullscreen

In OnInitDialog:

CRect Rect;
::SystemParametersInfo (SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, Rect, 0);
MoveWindow (Rect);

Hi,

My application runs in fullscreen w/o any problems... [Windows CE 3.0] I did
not use any of those STFullScreen, etc, etc.. All I did was to make the size
of my dialog the size of the screen [say 640x480] and then, in my
OnInitDialog of my main dialog I just did this:

CWnd* TaskBarWnd = CWnd::FindWindow(_T("HHTaskBar"), _T(""));
if (TaskBarWnd) TaskBarWnd->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

So, my application was "full screen" and there was no way the user could
activate the taskbar..

Then, when you exit your application you do:

CWnd* TaskBarWnd = CWnd::FindWindow(_T("HHTaskBar"), _T(""));
if (TaskBarWnd) TaskBarWnd->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

And that's it.

Use SPY++ to make sure your taskbar's name is "HHTaskBar" because maybe it
varies from CE to CE.. I am not sure...

Marius

.. I meant, when you exit your application you do a ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) not
SW_HIDE :)

This doesn't make the window full screen, as the task bar and menu bar and
sip buttons are still visible (the bar above and below your screen).

What you are doing is already automatically done, as the default of
m_bFullScreen = TRUE of CDialog on CE.

This gets rid of the Task bar (start menu), but not the bar on the bottom of
the screen, the one with the SIP button.
I can also hide the SIP button using the same FindWindow technique, but the
bar itself (control bar?) won't go away.

I am not sure what kind of system you have; I have one that is like a
Handheld which does not have these issues. What you can do is trying to use
Remote SPY++ and see if you can find the names of the windows that you are
trying to get rid of, get a handle to them and hide them...

Nah, I had to do this:
::CommandBar_Show(m_pWndEmptyCB->m_hWnd, FALSE);

Solved the problem.
