Re: [GD-Windows] Messed up windows after fullscreen

[Aaron H. <Vid...@ho...>]

And there are yet even MORE variants of making windows on top and
visible.. :\

Have you done something like this?

  // alternate startup mode, to bring up full screen.
  hWnd = CreateWindow(ThisWindowClass,
                      appGetName(),
                      WS_POPUP,
                      0, 0,
                      oglWidth, oglHeight,
                      NULL, NULL,
                      hInstance,
                      NULL );

// THIS MAY BE IMPORTANT! Make the app window visible...
  ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_SHOW );
  UpdateWindow( hWnd );


And, just to be sure, have you also handled the create message like
this?
  case WM_CREATE:
    // Remember our mSloth drawing context.
    hDC = GetDC( hWnd );

      if( oglFullscreen )
      {
        ChangeDisplayMode();
      }

        // Select our precious pixel format.
      SetDCPixelFormat( hDC );

      // Yeppers, make something that OpenGL understands.
      hRC = wglCreateContext( hDC );
      wglMakeCurrent( hDC, hRC );

    ReleaseDC( hWnd, hDC );
    break;

This seems to work well in my case.  I haven't had any problems with
apps (debugger on break points) stealling focus and screwing up the
other windows.

Percision is tricky...
