Okay, I need to apologize to people who I have given a bad time and I truly regret it because I need your help with problems with the project that I can rely on you guys to help.
I have been trying to get this to work but its giving me nightmares. I am trying get the Win32 client to launch into full screen but I don't know where in the source code I need to place it exactly.
I know the code is:
<br />
SetWindowPos(..)<br />
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN / SM_CYSCREEN)
It's just finding the place on the source code to place it.
Thanks

You need to put this in your OnCreate() procedure, i.e. where you handle the WM_CREATE message.

I don't get it.
So the full screen code should go where the WM_CREATE message is.

Look, Andrew, you are never going to make any progress with this until and unless you sit down with some study materials and learn how Windows programs work. None of this stuff is hugely difficult once you get to understand things like Windows handles, messages, callbacks, user interaction etc. But, there is a learning curve, and unless you follow that route most of the answers you get here will be meaningless. And, believe me, everyone who answers these posts has had to go through that learning and hard work, to get to where they are now.
A little pain now will pay huge dividends in the long term.

Hi Richard,
It's just one slight problem with the display of the full screen.
<br />
hwnd = CreateWindowEx(<br />
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,<br />
g_szClassName,<br />
"My Project",<br />
WS_POPUP,<br />
CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 1062, 735,<br />
NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

You are specifiying a fixed window size of 1062x735. If your screen is bigger than this (as mine is) then it does not fill it. Leave these values at the default and just change yor ShowWindow call to
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_MAXIMIZE);

Is it an MFC application?

What do you mean by MFC?
Andrew McIntyre

Apparently not. Did you not notice the "MFC" in the name of this forum?
See here.

No. It says C++ as well and its a Win32 not a MFC.

What does your call to CreateWindow() and ShowWindow() look like?

Have you changed these numbers (which are screen coordinates, not pixels) to see what the effect is? You can use CW_USEDEFAULT for all four arguments.
What about ShowWindow()? You should be using SW_MAXIMIZE.

Can you show me how my code for the full screen should look like.

Can you show how you are calling ShowWindow()?

I am just going out for a while. As soon as I get back I will post the code.

Do you want me to post the entire source code

Not really. I was really just trying to get you to focus in on a specific area of your code.

But you are not using SW_MAXIMIZE. Did you not like my suggestion?

I don't want it to maximize, I want it to launch into full screen.
