[GD-Windows] Messed up windows after fullscreen

[Brian H. <pu...@py...>]

I'm sure this kind of thing comes up all the time, but I'm getting
really annoyed that when I go fullscreen and return that all my windows
(not icons though) are scrunched down.  Is this a driver issue?  This is
on Win2K SP2 w/ GF3 12.41 using ChangeDisplaySettings().

Hi Brian

    ok, I've noticed this problem too, especially when I switch between the
two, not necessarily when I start in fullscreen then exit back to windows,
but in your win32 code when you close the window, or exit the app, do you
call

ChangeDisplaySettings(NULL,0)

because I've read and I'm quite sure this will "reset" your default windows
screen, so when you exit your app running at 640 back to your desktop
running at 1024 or higher, you should go back to 1024, instead of exiting to
windows, but keeping 640 as your res

thats if I read your question right, otherwise :P oops

I believe you have to restore the display settings before closing
everything down. I've attached a Win32 skeleton application that was
developed for the OpenGL Challenge.

An example:
void RestoreDisplayMode()
{
  ChangeDisplaySettings(0, 0);
}

LRESULT CALLBACK SkeletonProc( HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam )
{
	// Keep drawing stuff around.
	static HGLRC hRC;
	static HDC hDC;

//-- snip --
  case WM_DESTROY:
		wglMakeCurrent( hDC, NULL );
		wglDeleteContext( hRC );

		if( fullscreen )
		{
		  RestoreDisplayMode();
		}

		PostQuitMessage( 0 );
		break;
//-- /snip --

Hope this helps...
- Aaron.
