Change window to full screen?

[Yue]

How can I implement a change of window to full screen after activating the option in the options menu?

Do I have to force the user to restart the game?
Or can I do it with the program running live?

 

[Josh]

Create a new window and then delete the previous window.

To be honest, I just request the user to restart. This prevents anything relying on the context to not break when the user changes the window mode.

The question is: How do I destroy a wind

Same as any object in Leadwerks, Release():

You might try Window::SetShape() first, it might allow resizing a fullscreen window. Just make sure the new size is one of the support graphics resolutions for your monitor.

Thank you very much, always something to learn with Leadwerks.

When I delete the window, is the context of the window and the world it contains deleted?

[Josh]

The context is deleted, but the world is not.

The GUI is also deleted, the thing is that in the resolution change it seems that the GUI is broken, it does not draw the menu correctly in the coordinates, I think I have to delete it and create it again.

Ok, it works perfectly. :)
