Working with the Robert P. sample, I added a vertical scroll bar and changed the background color to blue. The problem is that the scroll bar area remains blue during the transition to full screen (not good). Is there any way to prevent this other than changing the background color to white? Here is my modified sample code with the scrollbar and background color. Rich // MacWindows.h toolbox fn HIWindowChangeAttributes( WindowRef inWindow, const int *inAttrToSet, const int *inAttrToClear ) = OSStatus _kHIWindowBitFullScreenPrimary = 45 // 10.7 // toolbox fn HIWindowToggleFullScreen( WindowRef inWindow ) = OSStatus // 10.7; not in FB // toolbox fn HIWindowIsFullScreen(WindowRef inWindow) = Boolean // 10.7; not in FB local fn CarbonBundle as CFBundleRef '~'1 begin globals dim as CFBundleRef sCarbonBundle // static end globals if ( sCarbonBundle == 0 ) then sCarbonBundle = fn CreateBundleForFramework( "Carbon.framework" ) end fn = sCarbonBundle // in 10.6 and earlier, return _paramErr and do nothing local fn HIWindowToggleFullScreen( w as WindowRef ) as OSStatus '~'1 dim as OSStatus err : err = _paramErr dim as ptr f def fn HIWindowToggleFS( ww as WindowRef ) as OSStatus using f f = fn CFBundleGetFunctionPointerForName( fn CarbonBundle, @"HIWindowToggleFullScreen" ) if ( f ) then err = fn HIWindowToggleFS( w ) end fn = err // in 10.6 and earlier, return _false local fn HIWindowIsFullScreen( w as WindowRef ) as Boolean '~'1 dim as Boolean result : result = _false dim as ptr f def fn HIWindowIsFS( ww as WindowRef ) as Boolean using f f = fn CFBundleGetFunctionPointerForName( fn CarbonBundle, @"HIWindowIsFullScreen" ) if ( f ) then result = fn HIWindowIsFS( w ) end fn = result local fn BuildWindow '~'1 dim as SInt32 attr(1) appearance window 1,, (0,0)-(480,360), _kDocumentWindowClass, _kWindowResizableAttribute attr(0) = _kHIWindowBitFullScreenPrimary attr(1) = 0 fn HIWindowChangeAttributes( window( _wndRef ), @attr(0), NULL ) end fn dim as WindowRef w fn BuildWindow() SCROLL BUTTON 8001,1,,,,,_scrollVert'move thumb to correct position. 8/02/2007 Added _scrollVert to be Appearance Compliant DIM RGB.RGBCOLOR RGB.Red%=0 RGB.Green%=0 RGB.Blue%=40000 CALL RGBBackColor(#@RGB) get window 1, @w fn HIWindowToggleFullScreen( w ) HandleEvents
