Re: full screen graphics display

[Alexander Gehlert <alexander gehlert raritan com>]

Hi Robert,

just call pWindow->fullscreen() (Gtk::Window::fullscreen)

the window will try to become fullscreen, so the decoration get removed, 
and the window will expand,
but make sure to track the state of your window may the windowmanager 
don't put you to fullscreen mode, use :

   on_window_state_event(GdkEventWindowState* stateevent){

          ...
      switch(stateevent->changed_mask)
         ...
           case Gdk::WINDOW_STATE_FULLSCREEN:

          ...
   }
to check if your window is in fullscreen mode, beside that you don't 
need to care about other things, everything should work as intended

Regards Alex
