I need some help with desktop fullscreen.
FormLib doesn't work on desktop, and the FormExDesktop doesn't have a fullscreen function.

At best I can set the WindowsState to Maximized.

Can someone provide a sample on a fullscreen app?

Using the Display object in FormExDesktop obtain the width and height of the screen your FormEx is on. Set its' width and height to the screen values and set the BorderStyle to 0. Make sure you have some way of re-setting the BorderStyle to 4 by clicking on the FormEx or by some other means.

Unless full screen is a separate FormEx being shown you will probably want to save the current position and size of the FormEx and restore those previous FormEx settings when exiting full screen.

Thanks Agraham, it works perfectly.

But I have one more question.
I remember reading that the transparency doesn't work in full screen.
Why not, and is there a way to work around it?
