Ribbon glitch or wrong usage?

Open RibbonMDISample and change to the following code:

 

void CMainFrame::OnViewFullscreen()
{
    ModifyStyle(WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME, 0);
    ModifyStyle(0, WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME); 
}

 

1) Run the application, click on View->Full Screen.

2) Click on the taskbar (should be "Always on top").

3) Click on the caption of RibbonMDISample.

 

This is the result:

 

 

How do I fix this?

 

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

 

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 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.
