You'll need to use CreateWindowEx() to create a top-most window (WS_EX_TOPMOST) without any border (WS_POPUP).

load cursor for hourglass-arrow

Hi,

What type of fullscreen you mean? The one, where you have predefined window size and want to temporarily switch screen to that size? Or maybe the one where you want borderless and captionless window to cover entire screen (for currently set resolution)?

In the first case:

DEVMODE dm;
HWND hDesk;
HDC hDeskDC;
hDesk = GetDesktopWindow();
hDeskDC = GetDC(hDesk);
dm.dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE);
dm.dmBitsPerPel = GetDeviceCaps(hDeskDC, BITSPIXEL);
ReleaseDC(hDesk, hDeskDC);
dm.dmPelsWidth = dwScreenX;
dm.dmPelsHeight = dwScreenY;
dm.dmFields = DM_BITSPERPEL | DM_PELSWIDTH | DM_PELSHEIGHT;
if (ChangeDisplaySettings(&dm, CDS_TEST) == DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL) {
    return TRUE;
}
dm.dmPelsWidth = dwScreenX;
dm.dmPelsHeight = dwScreenY;
if (ChangeDisplaySettings(&dm, 0) == DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL) {
    return TRUE;
}

In order to get valid screen resolutions, use EnumDisplaySettings.

In the second case:
Use

GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)
and
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)

to get currently set screen resolution, and adjust your borderless and captionless window size accordingly.

Hope that helps
Regards

Hi,

The wait cursor is an arrow with a small hourglass beside it.

IDC_WAIT represent only hourglass,

Using MFC?
Here's one way...

Add a progress control to the dialog resource.
Add a CProgressCtrl object to the dialog class:

CProgressCtrl m_StatusProgress;

In the dialog class OnInitDialog() function set up the progress control:

m_StatusProgress.SetRange32(0,100);
m_StatusProgress.SetPos(0);

As progress progresses (haha) calculate the percent done and notify the progress control:

m_StatusProgress.SetPos(percentdone);

Re: OnSetCursor - works in 1 dlg but in other doesn't!

12-Oct-06 0:27

Hi all,

i have 2 dialogs, dlg1 & dlg2 in both of them i use the same code:

BOOL CDlg1::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
        if (!m_bCondition)
	{
	    ::SetCursor(::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
	    return TRUE;

	return CDialog::OnSetCursor(pWnd,nHitTest,message);
}

BOOL CDlg2::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
        if (!m_bCondition)
	{
	    ::SetCursor(::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
	    return TRUE;

	return CDialog::OnSetCursor(pWnd,nHitTest,message);
}

problem is that i see the hourglass when mouse is over dlg1, but i don't see the hourglass when mouse is over dlg2????

what am i missing? should i implement an other message?

thanks in advanced

You say it doesnt call OnSetCursor on CDlg2,right?

YaronNir12-Oct-06 2:12

12-Oct-06 2:12

the method OnSetCursor is being called on both dialogs, but the problem is that i can see the hourglass on dialog1 when mouse is over it, but i see only an arrow (not hourglass) on dialog2 when mouse is over it....
