I am not sure about API, but we provide this functionality to users. There are new features : - View | Full Screen - Maximize TopComponent - from the popup menu over the titlebar - Undock View/Window to separate window Yes I notice the full screen view when used in a platform application can't be set back to not full screen, or at least I couldn't figure out how to get it back. The only way I was able to get it back was to close the platform application and restart it. Is there some way to hook into the full screen and get it back through an API method? I guess for a given TC one can get it's parent window and play around with that and obviously maximize and minimize it. Passing to Standa. No official API AFAIK, any use case please? Thanks. Full screen can be toggled by shortcut Alt+Shift+Enter. Also, there will be a UI change and main menu will be visible also in full screen, allowing you to switch back. One use case would be to play or preview a movie or presentation clip. I have some educational software I am working on which I would like to be able to use full screen support. However, if the user has a setting in place to be able to place a single undocked top component in full screen mode I would like to do that. That way they can have multiple things tracked and opened at different times and full screen either one. I would think image editing software writers would like to use that type of thing for image previews like the more expensive versions of Photo Shop let them do. Full screen that view then that view be able to have a setting and if it is set them full screen it every time the user uses it. In the case of the main menu. It would be nice to have the ability to programatically set stages of full screen. Menu showing, menu not showing, title bar showing, etc. To make quick use of Full Screen in applications easier. i.e. Microsoft media player. Look at the way it allows full screen. It is really nice and handy. impl dependency on core/windows wouldn't be good enough in this case? What do you mean? I am not sure how just having an impl dependency solves the issue talked about here. i mean that WindowManagerImpl in core/windows has some methods you can use for switching to/from full screen mode. however it probably won't solve all your problems... |
