I am using the following code to go to full screen mode with F11 key.

C#

if (!isFullScreenModeEnabled)
                {
                   gridMediaPlayer.Children.Remove(mePlayerMain);

                    mePlayerMain.Width = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth;
                    mePlayerMain.Height = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight;

                    this.Content = mePlayerMain;
                    this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
                    this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
                    isFullScreenModeEnabled = true;
                }

First I removed my MediaElement (mePlayerMain) from Grid Control (gridMediaPlayer). Then I set the content to current media element i have. then I maximize the media element with BorderStyle None.

This absolutely works fine. But the problem is while I want to come out from Full Screen Mode. I wrote following code:

C#

if(isFullScreenModeEnabled)
                {
                    gridMediaPlayer.Children.Insert(0, mePlayerMain);
                    this.Content = gridMediaPlayer;
                    this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
                    this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
                    isFullScreenModeEnabled=false;
                }

But it's not working.

My another question is How can I get to the Control (Play Pause Seek etc.) while in Full Screen Mode??

OK. I have solved it by myself and it's perfectly working on my PC.

C#

if (!isFullScreenModeEnabled)
{
//Disconnect Media Element from Parent Container Grid (gridMediaPlayer)
    gridMediaPlayer.Children.Remove(mePlayerMain);
//Get The Monitor/Display Width in Pixels
    mePlayerMain.Width = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth;
//Get The Monitor/Display Height in Pixels
    mePlayerMain.Height = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight;
//Set the current content to MediaElement    
    this.Content = mePlayerMain;
//Maximize the Media Element
    this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
    this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
    isFullScreenModeEnabled = true; //Set Bool value to True
}
else if(isFullScreenModeEnabled)
{
//Set the current content to Grid
    this.Content = gridMediaPlayer;
//Now connect the Media Element with Grid.
    gridMediaPlayer.Children.Insert(0, mePlayerMain);
    mePlayerMain.Width = 780;         //My Media Element Width
    mePlayerMain.Height = 340;        //My Media Element Height
//Set The Window Style and State
    this.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
    this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
    isFullScreenModeEnabled = false; //Set it False
}
