| Hi I just want to have my game launched in full screen with the current display setting of my monitor. How to know the current resolution of the screen ? Thanks |

| Hi there, The way i did this, was to use following user32.dll decls: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1179 copy and paste this into notepad and put it in to my 'C:\Program Files\Blitz3D\userlibs'. Save this as 'User32.decls'. Then in my code right at the start i put the following
Const title$ = "blitzapp"
Const SM_CXSCREEN = 0
Const SM_CYSCREEN = 1
window_w = api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); 640
window_h = api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN); 480
Graphics3D window_w, window_h, 0, 1
AppTitle title$
blitz_hnd = api_FindWindow("Blitz Runtime Class", title$) ; Find this window
api_SetWindowLong(blitz_hnd, GWL_STYLE, WS_VISIBLE) ; Set the windows style flags
api_MoveWindow(blitz_hnd, (api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) - window_w) Shr 1, (api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) - window_h) Shr 1, window_w, window_h, 1)
Work fine on my basic small demo, http://nrasool.nadcom.co.uk/?Tech_Demos:Hellraiser_Lament_Box_Configuration |

| BTW you don't need to use the FindWindow function to get the HWND of your app (this also doesn't allow multiple apps with the same apptitle), instead use blitz_hnd%=Systemproperty$("AppHWND") |

| Thanks a lot ! It works fine and takes me 5 min of implementation. I really thanks the community, and you nrasool. This code is very usefull for public apps, because i think a lot of people doesn't knew what 1024*768 is supposed to means ! |
