FULLSCREEN (function): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:44, 29 March 2023

The _FULLSCREEN function returns the present full screen mode setting of the screen window.

Syntax

full% = _FULLSCREEN

Description

Function returns:
- 0 = _OFF (any positive non-0 value means fullscreen is on)
- 1 = _STRETCH
- 2 = _SQUAREPIXELS
It cannot be assumed that calling _FULLSCREEN will succeed. It cannot be assumed that the type of full screen will match the requested one. Always check the _FULLSCREEN (function) return in your programs.
Warning: Despite your software, the user's hardware, drivers and monitor may not function in some modes. Thus, it is highly recommended that you manually confirm with the user whether the switch to full screen was successful. This can be done "quietly" in some cases by getting the user to click on a button on screen with their mouse or press an unusual key. If the user does not respond after about 8 seconds, switch them back to windowed mode.

Using large fonts with _FULLSCREEN can cause monitor or Windows Desktop problems or kill a program.

Examples

Example: Shows how fonts and the _FULLSCREEN mode can resize a program window.

f& = _FONT: defaultf& = f&

    style$ = "MONOSPACE"

    SELECT CASE winmode$
        CASE "1"
            full = _FULLSCREEN 'get current full screen mode
            IF full <> 0 THEN _FULLSCREEN _OFF
            GOSUB ChangeFont

        CASE "2"
            DO
                PRINT
                INPUT "Enter a FONT SIZE 5 to 25: ", fontsize%
            LOOP UNTIL fontsize% > 4 AND fontsize% < 26

            DO
                PRINT

            IF italic% = 1 THEN style$ = style$ + ", ITALIC"
            IF bold% = 1 THEN style$ = style$ + ", BOLD"
            full = _FULLSCREEN 'get current full screen mode

        CASE "4"
            GOSUB ChangeFont
            _FULLSCREEN _STRETCH
            GOSUB CheckFull

    END SELECT

    PRINT: PRINT "_FullScreen mode ="; _FULLSCREEN
    PRINT
LOOP
GOSUB ChangeFont
END

CheckFull: '<<<<<<<<<<<<<< turn off full screen if function returns 0!
full = _FULLSCREEN 'get current full screen mode
IF full = 0 THEN _FULLSCREEN _OFF: SOUND 100, .75
RETURN

ChangeFont:
IF winmode$ <> "2" THEN
    _FONT 16 'select inbuilt 8x16 default font
    currentf& = _FONT
ELSE
    currentf& = _LOADFONT(fontpath$, fontsize%, style$)
    _FONT currentf&
END IF

IF currentf& <> f& AND f& <> defaultf& THEN _FREEFONT f&
f& = currentf&
RETURN

Explanation: The _FULLSCREEN function can avoid screen display and monitor problems when used to monitor the success of the full screen operation. If a full screen mode is not achieved (the function will return 0), call _FULLSCREEN OFF
