emulate fullscreen with b3d (i can't do it yet)

[Santiago]

I could never have with blitz3d the possibility of removing the "Titlebar" from windows. to simulate fullscreen but in windowed mode.

It is a myth ?, I could never do it, I did not find the dlls and I did not know how to use the ones that I found.

Could someone do it with b3d? Would you be so kind as to share an example?

regards!!!!

Yes, with Userlibs functions.
But the screen content is zoomed up/down to the desktop resolution (per hardware zoom).

This is (one of) the function, which i use to replace (or to make easier) the Graphic call.

usage: Screen (H,W,mode)

mode:
-1 is doing what you are asking. (fake fullscreen (low res content is zoomed), borderless window - no titlebar and the taskbar is hidden, at least here on my win10)
0 stretches the window to the desktop dimension
1 = Window in resolution H,W
2 or more = window in resolution H*typ, W*typ. - the drawing is still done on the H,W screen, but the window and its content is stretched (zoomed) to the mode.

Code: [Select]

Screen(320,200,-1)

Print "hi"
WaitKey()
End

Function Screen(x,y,full=0)
;fill <0 = Fulldesktop, borderless window
;full =0 = Fulldesktop
;full =1 = original x,y
;full >1-5 = x*full,y*full size
;full >5 = 0
DeskX=api_GetSystemMetrics(0)
DeskY=api_GetSystemMetrics(1)
If x>DeskX Then x=DeskX
    If x<64 Then x=64
If y>DeskY Then y=DeskY
    If y<64 Then y=64
    bits=api_GetDeviceCaps(api_GetDC( api_GetDesktopWindow()),12)
Graphics x,y,bits,6
Graphics x,y,bits,7
If full<=0 Or full>5
If full<0 Then api_SetWindowLong(api_GetActiveWindow(), -16, $10000000)
api_MoveWindow(api_GetActiveWindow(),0,0,DeskX,DeskY,True)
    EndIf
If full>1 And full<=5 Then api_MoveWindow(api_GetActiveWindow(),0,0,x*full,y*full,True)
End Function

The required userlibs are:

User32.decls   

Code: [Select]

.lib "user32.dll"
api_GetSystemMetrics% (nIndex%) : "GetSystemMetrics"
api_GetActiveWindow%():"GetActiveWindow"
api_GetDC% (hwnd%) : "GetDC"
api_GetDesktopWindow% () : "GetDesktopWindow"
api_MoveWindow% (hwnd%, x%, y%, nWidth%, nHeight%, bRepaint%) : "MoveWindow"
api_SetWindowLong% (hwnd%, nIndex%, dwNewLong%) : "SetWindowLongA"

GDI32.decls

Code: [Select]

.lib "gdi32.dll"
api_GetDeviceCaps% (hdc%, nIndex%) : "GetDeviceCaps"

Copy the text into your text editor and save the two files into the blitz3d userlib folder, (or add the lines if you have the decls files, if they are not there allready)

(you can get the full decls (kernel, gdi32, user32) from here: Blitzbasic codearchive)

Thanks Dan..

i try,i have my decls file in userlibes. but i have the next error. when compile to run text

function 'api_getdc' not found
Api_setwindowslong not found

maibe i need a dll in the directory?

im realy bad with this kind of things.

[Dan]

Api_setwindowslong not found

Thanks for pointing it out, there was one declaration missing:

add this to the user32.decls

Code: [Select]

api_SetWindowLong% (hwnd%, nIndex%, dwNewLong%) : "SetWindowLongA"

lets see if that fixes the problem.

User32 and gdi32 dll's  are widows own dll's, you shouldn't need them, if you are running b3d on windows.

Hi RemiD, this link dosen't work, is working?

[Steve Elliott]

That link works here.

[Santiago]

Ohhh  .

is strange, only works for me if i open using TOR browser.   strange!!

thanks!

[Santiago]

i try the code, but still have compiling error

Function 'user32_findwindows' not found.

i try to put dll, decls, but still have the problems, i never understand dlls files. im a prehistoric man.

can you give me the light, i trying to make this work so many time ago lol.

[Santiago]

hi, today i was trying to get the user32.decls functions working, delete my userlibs directory

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Blitz3D \ userlibs

Is it possible that this does not work for me because of the permissions to access these directories?

if I want to modify a file inside that directory it won't let me, download files, .bb programs, I don't know what to do to make it work.

[Dan]

You can test it,

Copy the b.basic folder from program files into, for e.g. C:\BB3D\ and start the blitzide from there.

[Santiago]

i go to try.

i need to have user32.decls in blitz3d\userlibs


and i need the user32.dll file in the game directory? or is no need ?

[Dan]

No, user32.dll is a part of windows.

It is enough to have the user32.decls in the userlibs folder.
