The _ALLOWFULLSCREEN statement allows setting the behavior of the ALT+ENTER combo.


Syntax

_ALLOWFULLSCREEN [{_STRETCH|_SQUAREPIXELS|OFF|_ALL}][, {_SMOOTH|OFF|_ALL}]


Description

  • Calling the statement with no parameters enables all four possible full screen modes (and is the default state when a program is started): both _STRETCH (_SMOOTH and _OFF) and _SQUAREPIXELS (_SMOOTH and _OFF).
  • _ALLOWFULLSCREEN only affects the behavior of ALT+ENTER. The _FULLSCREEN statement is not bound by _ALLOWFULLSCREEN's settings so all modes can be accessed programmatically.
  • To limit just the mode but allow both _SMOOTH + _OFF antialiasing modes, pass just the first parameter: Example: _ALLOWFULLSCREEN _SQUAREPIXELS
  • To allow multiple modes with _SMOOTH or _OFF as default, pass just the second parameter. Example: _ALLOWFULLSCREEN , _SMOOTH
  • Any possible permutation of the parameters is allowed.
  • With _ALLOWFULLSCREEN _OFF you can trap Alt+Enter manually in your program and reassign it. See example 2 below.


Availability

  • Version 1.3 and up.


Examples

Example 1: Allowing only one fullscreen mode with square pixels and no antialiasing:

_ALLOWFULLSCREEN _SQUAREPIXELS , OFF

Example 2: Disabling _FULLSCREEN with Alt+ENTER so the combo can be manually trapped:

DO
    CLS

    LOCATE 7
    PRINT "    - Press ALT+ENTER to test trapping the combo..."
    PRINT "    _ Press SPACEBAR to allow fullscreen again..."

    k& = _KEYHIT

    IF k& = 13 THEN
        IF _KEYDOWN(100307) OR _KEYDOWN(100308) THEN
            altEnter = altEnter + 1
        END IF
    ELSEIF k& = 32 THEN
        fullscreenEnabled = NOT fullscreenEnabled
    END IF

    LOCATE 14
    IF fullscreenEnabled THEN
        _ALLOWFULLSCREEN _ALL , _ALL
        altEnter = 0
        PRINT "_ALLOWFULLSCREEN _ALL, _ALL"

        LOCATE 18
        PRINT "ALT+ENTER will trigger all four fullscreen modes now."
    ELSE
        _ALLOWFULLSCREEN OFF
        PRINT "_ALLOWFULLSCREEN OFF"
    END IF

    IF altEnter THEN
        LOCATE 18
        PRINT "ALT+ENTER manually trapped"; altEnter; "times."
    END IF

    _DISPLAY
    _LIMIT 30
LOOP
