Full Screen Mode

Post by FxTradeX6 » Thu Feb 12, 2015 8:47 am

I've tried all of the settings for fullscreenmode, exactFit, showAll, etc.. and they don't seem to do anything.

Placed code in the stack script under preOpenStack. Not sure what else to do, short of trying to detect the desktop resolution and then set the widow height and width somehow. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

on preOpenStack
   hide menuBar
   set the rect of this stack to screenRect()
end preOpenStack

Hi FxTradeX6,

When setting the fullScreenMode on desktop, you also have to set the fullScreen of the stack to true.

Code: Select all

set the fullscreen of this stack to true
Once this is set, your stack will automatically scale according to the fullScreenMode used

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

Ok, it's not doing quite what I had hoped. When working in LC i don't have the window size set to my full screen size (1024x768 for example), it may be something like 500x500. When it's run as a standalone i want it to expand to the full resolution of whatever the monitor may be, and keep the UI in tact without having a bunch of blank window space.

When i use fullscreen/fullscreenmode i can't access the min/max/close buttons.
