Hi znakeeye,

I saw your post after I found OnViewFullScreen in the MDI sample had no code. I added those two lines and stepped thru the code when I press the button on the view tab. But, nothing is happening because one line removes styles and the next line adds them right back.

I have stepped over the second line since it just adds the styles back but there is minimal change and some bad clipping of the ribbon.

I implemented a "full screen" mode for our app long ago and wanted to see if CJ made it easy to implement full screen mode when I saw themethod in the sample today.

I use the F11 key to go in and out of full screen in our MDI app. My code isn't too bad. I just set the MDI client window position so it takes the entire monitor and remove the client edge. I set the ribbon in minimized mode. I had to worry about the Windows app bar. That was a bit tricky and and causes a bit of flashing. I didn't find a way at the time to only affect the app bar on the monitor on which my app sits.

I do see CMDIFrameWndEx has enable full screen mode capability with our without the menu/ribbon being affected but CJ doesn't use it or CFrameWndEx which also has full screen capability.

What issue number was assigned?

 

Enter full screen:

1) Disable office 2007 frame AND hide it?

2) pPaneChild->SetParent( GetParentFrame() );  // To get WM_KEYDOWN etc

 

Exit full screen:

1) Enable office 2007 frame AND show it?

2) pPaneChild->SetParent( pPreviousParent /*pane window!*/ );

 

Thanks!

Hi,

When you call ModifyStyle(WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME, 0); it will not remove caption from Ribbon. Ribbon already run this code to remove it. Sorry, There is no way to hide Ribbon caption. You need disable Office2007frame, hide it, when show and enable again.

 

I need this code when I show another window in fullscreen mode. Just as in the GUI_VisualStudio sample, but with a ribbon!

 

1-1. Your call

don't use this code to fix it.
