That works! Thanks!

Hi, thanks. I added the edited code.

If I try to put the StreamGeometry declaration inside the loop, so that a new StreamGeometry object is declared on every iteration of the loop, the program only shows 2 shapes. It seems like it won't allow more than 1-2 StreamGeometry objects.

Unless of course you recommend just using ATL or MFC. And, by the way... that's the confusing thing... which one should I use?

I'm kind of a novice at Windows. So I was assuming that these kinds of problems had already been solved a long time ago without having to use ATL and MFC. That's the only reason, really. It's kind of intimidating, when you're just starting out, to see all these files that you have no idea what they are for. I'm a bit of a minimalist, as a habit.

Would you mind pointing me to a tutorial on how to paint the control myself?

Many thanks!

Okay... I read the articles you created linked to above. They are very nice. Correct me if I'm wrong... Are you saying that it's not possible to set the orignial menu and original styles without using ATL or MFC?

Creating the full screen works. Undoing the full screen doesn't.

But I must be able to change the ones I selected, because I was able to modify them when I created the full screen.

My guess above was wrong. It should be:
SetWindowLong(m_hWnd, GWL_STYLE, dwStyle & ~dwRemove);
This is logical since you are getting the previous state, and doing the opposite for the selected options. For some reason it doesn't work, however... Not sure why.

You're a genius, thanks! It would have taken me about 3 weeks to figure out the LockWindowUpdate part. The reverse part is easy, no? Just use:

LockWindowUpdate(m_hWnd); NULL);
SetWindowLong(m_hWnd, GWL_STYLE, dwStyle & dwRemove);
HDC hDC = GetWindowDC(NULL);
LockWindowUpdate(NULL); // allow redrawing
SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, NULL, 0, 0, GetDeviceCaps(hDC, HORZRES), GetDeviceCaps(hDC, VERTRES), SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

BTW How important are the double colons in front of the functions? I've never seen anyone do that before.

DWORD dwStyle = ::GetWindowLong(h_main, GWL_STYLE);
DWORD dwRemove = WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX;
DWORD dwNewStyle = dwStyle & ~dwRemove;
::SetWindowLong(h_main, GWL_STYLE, dwNewStyle);
::SetWindowPos(h_main, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE
| SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
HDC hDC = ::GetWindowDC(NULL);
::SetWindowPos(h_main, NULL, 0, 0, ::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, HORZRES), ::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, VERTRES), SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

Thanks! Two more quick things: my menu bar is still visible, and the border is still visible as well. Is there a quick way to fix that. And how do I enable someone to Esc back to a regular maximized window?

Thanks! It finally worked deleting the 32-bit icons from the .ico files. BTW... if the deployment expects 32-bit icons by default, and Visual Studio can't create or edit them, what is everyone else using to create/edit them? Thanks!

Thanks for this! I ended up using it for my project. By the way, I'm new to this open stuff. Am I allowed to market my app without paying royalties to opencv if I use it? Thanks!
