Window::setStyle & System::GetCurrentMonitorResolution

[NightQuest]

We have Window::setLayout which is awesome for resizing.. but what if we want borderless window?

 

Right now, I'm using this platform-specific code for that:

if( window->KeyHit(Key::F11) )

{

int screenWidth = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);

int screenHeight = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

 

if( fullscreen )

{

long style = reinterpret_cast<long>(window->GetUserData());

SetWindowLongPtr(window->hwnd, GWL_STYLE, style);

 

int width = stoi(System::GetProperty("width", "1280"));

int height = stoi(System::GetProperty("height", "720"));

 

window->SetLayout((screenWidth - width) / 2, (screenHeight - height) / 2, width, height);

}

else

{

long style = GetWindowLongPtr(window->hwnd, GWL_STYLE);

window->SetUserData(reinterpret_cast<void*>(style));

SetWindowLongPtr(window->hwnd, GWL_STYLE, style & ~(WS_BORDER | WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW));

window->SetLayout(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight);

}

fullscreen = !fullscreen;

}

 

 

This would allow us to simply do:

 

if( window->KeyHit(Key::F11) )

{

fullscreen = !fullscreen;

 

int width = fullscreen ? GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) : stoi(System::GetProperty("width", "1280"));

int height = fullscreen ? GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) : stoi(System::GetProperty("height", "720"));

 

int style = Window::Center;

if( fullscreen )

style &= ~Window::Titlebar;

else

style |= Window::Titlebar;

 

window->setStyle(style);

window->setLayout(0, 0, width, height);

}

 

 

And maybe we could get a

Vec2 System::GetCurrentMonitorResolution();

 

or something to retrieve the current monitors display resolution?

While I don't mind the Win32API, I'd like to be able to easily do these things on both platforms.

 

GTK+ has gtk-window-set-decorated, and X11 has DefaultScreenOfDisplay.

Yeah, this would be nice to see. Definitely the idea of a simple GetCurrentMonitorResolution function as it will make fullscreen mode properly set, and it will always look right with no need for config files. It would also be really great to have for lua games as well.

See System class:

Those are awesome, but they do not give you the current displaymode - maybe a int System::GetCurrentGraphicsMode()?

It would be an extremely rare case for the system to not already be running at the maximum resolution.
