Introduction
Some applications like some web browsers allow show in full screen mode using key F11. In full screen mode window haven't border and title bar and use entire screen space. Task bar is hidden too.
To be able to switch to fullscreen mode you will need:
- Remember previous form state as position and size and window state
- Be able to determine screen size
- Capture some key and perform operation
Best way to capture desired key is using Actions. Simply define new action in action manager and assign key shortcut. Than shortcut will work even if main form would lost focus.
Example program
unit Unit1;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
interface
uses
Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, StdCtrls,
Menus;
type
{ TForm1 }
TForm1 = class(TForm)
procedure FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
private
public
OriginalBounds: TRect;
OriginalWindowState: TWindowState;
ScreenBounds: TRect;
procedure SwitchFullScreen;
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.lfm}
{ TForm1 }
procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState
);
const
KeyF11 = 122;
begin
if Key = KeyF11 then SwitchFullScreen;
end;
procedure TForm1.SwitchFullScreen;
begin
if BorderStyle <> bsNone then begin
// To full screen
OriginalWindowState := WindowState;
OriginalBounds := BoundsRect;
BorderStyle := bsNone;
BoundsRect := Screen.MonitorFromWindow(Handle).BoundsRect;
end else begin
// From full screen
{$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}
BorderStyle := bsSizeable;
{$ENDIF}
if OriginalWindowState = wsMaximized then
WindowState := wsMaximized
else
BoundsRect := OriginalBounds;
{$IFDEF LINUX}
BorderStyle := bsSizeable;
{$ENDIF}
end;
end;
end.
Universal way to use full-screen
Universal way exists, using LCL, you need to call ShowWindow() with SW_SHOWFULLSCREEN. Example:
procedure TfmMain.SetFullScreen_Universal(AValue: boolean);
begin
if AValue then
ShowWindow(Handle, SW_SHOWFULLSCREEN)
else
ShowWindow(Handle, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
//maybe consider here previous maximized state?
end;
Win32 way to use full-screen
Universal way, above, works for Win32, but window border still stays, so better code which works:
procedure TfmMain.SetFullScreen_Win32(AValue: boolean);
begin
if AValue then
begin
FOrigWndState:= WindowState;
FOrigBounds:= BoundsRect;
BorderStyle:= bsNone;
BoundsRect:= Monitor.BoundsRect;
end
else
begin
WindowState:= FOrigWndState;
BoundsRect:= FOrigBounds;
BorderStyle:= bsSizeable;
BoundsRect:= FOrigBounds; //again
end;
end;
Win32: get task bar size
If you want to have task bar visible you have to adjust size according task bar position and size. For Windows:
function GetTaskBarSize: TRect;
begin
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, @Result, 0);
end;
GTK way to use full-screen
This is low-level code for GTK2, it is used already by LCL in "universal way" above.
To switch form to full screen dimensions:
gdk_window_fullscreen(PGtkWidget(Handle)^.window);
To roll back to normal mode:
gdk_window_unfullscreen(PGtkWidget(Handle)^.window);
This is GTK2 only. You must add to uses section such modules as gtk2, gdk2, glib2. You can do it by the directive
{$IFDEF LCLGTK2}, gtk2, gdk2, glib2{$ENDIF}
Changing screen resolution
There is no OS independent way to switch screen resolution now.
For Windows you can find information in article for Delphi Get and Set Screen Resolution (Display Device Modes)
