How to make a app fullscreen?

[ojaneri]

Hello,

I am a newbie to Basic4PCC and I am trying to make some Fuel Comsumption Calculator to my GPS Device ( a 480x272 touch screen windows ce 5.0 ).

I am on the very first steps of it, making a Form with the Designer. How can I make the form the full size of my screen (480x272)?

It appears it only can create 238x268 forms and I can´t modify these settings. Maybe because I am using the trial version?

Thanks!

designer =>
the form opens
tools => screen size
there's a dialogue window you can set the form's size

You can use the FormLib library to set a form in fullscreen

You can use the FormLib library to set a form in fullscreen

It would be very interesting to know how to do that.

You should have a look at the help file, everything is in there.

FullScreen2 method removes the menu bar and/or the title bar.
Syntax: FullScreen2 (RemoveMenu As Boolean, RemoveTitle As Boolean)
Removing the title without removing the menu bar is only supported by the optimized compiler (excluding Forced QVGA mode).

Best regards.

Thank you Klaus. First thing I do before asking something - take a look at the
help file.
I just had some doubts that FullScreen2 can solve the problem above(480X272)
Was I wrong?

I join the question since I failed to get the fullscreen in an emulator of CE 5.0.
The designed form is 480 wide on 272 high.
The optimized compilation puts the left half of the form on the display, leaving the right side empty.
Opening it to full screen using the square at the corner doesn't change much - theform now occupies the whole screen but the application is still only half.

When using the fullscreen2 I get a full sacreen but the image is gone
See the attached photos.

Help will be appreciated :sign0085:

It's normal coz when you set an image as background on a form it draw with the form dimension but when you set your form in fullscreen the size is changed...
You need to reset your background after each size changing with the Resize event from Formlib.dll:

Form1.Image="MyImage.jpg"
fl.New1("Form1",b4pobject(1))
fl.FullScreen2(true,true)
Sub fl_Resize
Form1.Image="MyImage.jpg"
end sub

fl is a Formlib object...

Or you can also set your image after set it in fullscreen but when you'll change your screen orientation it'll turn blank again but not with my method...
