REALbasic Tip: Full Screen Mode

Posted by Jakub Pawlak in Articles Dec 6th, 2009 | 3 responses

In this quick tip we will learn how to run our REALbasic application in full screen mode. This method can be used when we create a movie player or when we simply need to use every pixel of the screen.

Full Screen Mode in REALbasic

To activate the full screen mode in REALbasic we must do few thing. First we should disable the Resizable Property of the Window Class. Go to GUI Builder and in Window1 Property and Value panel change Resizable to false. Now for example add a PushButton Control to Window1 and capy and paste this code into Sub Action ():

1 2	self.FullScreen = not self.FullScreen //enter full screen mode self.MenuBarVisible = not self.FullScreen //show and hide menu bar

I'm interested in all. Currently working on the development of TUTSPOLIS and I hope that in near feature the project will be successful.

   Hi,

   I really like your tutorials – very nice for beginners like me.

   What I somehow miss is a contact form for feedback or even better a wish-form

   What I still don’t catch on is how to manage hierarchical listboxes. I’d love to see a tutorial about that.

   Thanks,
   Alex

   Hello Alex,

   I will think about a wish-form option, and I will think also about creating in future a tutorial showing you how to manage hierarchical Listbox.

   Regards,
   Jakub
