[GD-Windows] Going fullscreen

[Eero P. <epa...@ko...>]

I am setting up my program using the freeglut library,
but I have one problem. My program starts up in a fullscreen
window using the (free)glut gamemode. The problem is: sometimes
the Windows (XP) system/menu/status bar at the bottom of the
screen stays on top of my fullscreen window. In addition
to the visible problem, this causes problem for my sound system,
as apparently requires that my window must be the one "with focus".
(If there are other windows on screen, they will also be on top
of my gamemode window, when the problem happens)

The freeglut library seems to enter gamemode, by first setting the
requested display parameters, and then creating the new window using the
following flags:
         flags = WS_POPUP | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_VISIBLE;


I am currently using Nvidia display cards, and my desktop and
fullscreen window is 2048x768 pixels, spanning both of the video
outputs of the card.

Any ideas on how to make freeglut behave more reliably?
Alternatively, is there a function which I could call to force
my window to be on top of the window stack?
