|
|
Hi
I'm still trying to find a way to get FULL SCREEN not to
be confused with MAXIMIZED WINDOW.
< Mostly Concerning IE 5 or 6 >
Could just remove the toolbar probably(like an .HTA view)
.HTA is not switchable as far as the toolbar.
Speaking of .HTA I know its not posible but I would also like to be able to
use a VDS EXE with regular HTML buttons locally only.
I've tried Java etc.. but I dont like the RUN/OPEN confirm DIALOG.
<button style="valign:center; align:center; cursor: pointer; width:70; height:28"
onClick="window.location='VDSprog.exe'" style="color: red">Load VDS program</button>
I've been stuck with using:
WINDOW SEND,targetWINDOW,@alt(@KEY(f11))
The above is a workable but flimzy way to do it.
I found this info at a webpage:
It’s actually quite easy to do it in Cocoa…. by subclassing NSWindow (playing a bit with its initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer: method); no need to “hide” the menu bar, just set the window’s level to something higher than NSMainMenuWindowLevel. This is actually how most 3rd party apps are implementing the FSM. Look for example at VLC: when you’re in FSM hit Shift+Command+F11 to actually slow down the Exposé effect and find out that the full screen view is nothing more than a “normal” window.
I would like an API or DLL function to do this if posible.
Thanks for reading  |

Are you trying to hide the Windows Taskbar?
Create your application and set the form to the width and height of the desktop. Also set your form with an ONTOP style.
You can use the dll vdssave which has a hidetaskbar command to hide the windows taskbar. |

The same can be done with the taskbar hide and taskbar show commands  _________________ [ Add autocomplete functionality to your VDS IDE windows! ]

Wish there was money in misleading people, I would be rich
Naa
I need to remove the top bar that contains the FILE EDIT VIEW etc..
what ever it is called, not sure.
But this is not for my VDS program, I'm trying to do it to IE frame window(IE5 or6 window).
My wanted outcome is same result as hitting F11 (Full Screen) in explorer.
FULL SCREEN = remove a ? bar + maximize...
but the maximize part I can handle...
I appologize for being so misleading. |

I've allready tried all those, which created the Active Content Warning, which I have trouble enabling and disabling by way of REG.
If I TIC the setting in Advanced Internet Settings everything works perfect.
But if I do it in REG manually, nothing happens.
Its like when I TIC it in the Advanced Internet Settings, it changes more than 1 setting in REG or knows how to handle it better.
Below is the REG that should disable the warning 0:
REGISTRY WRITE,HCU,Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN,iexplore.exe,0,DWORD
RAW form:
HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ FeatureControl \ FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN
Below is example test:
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openindex()
{
OpenWindow=window.open("", "newwin", "height=250, width=250,toolbar=no,scrollbars="+scroll+",menubar=no");
OpenWindow.document.write("<TITLE>TEST</TITLE>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<BODY BGCOLOR=blue>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<h1>Hello!</h1>")
OpenWindow.document.write("This text will appear in the window!")
OpenWindow.document.write("</BODY>")
OpenWindow.document.write("</HTML>")
OpenWindow.document.close()
self.name="main"
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html> |
Also tried the MARK of the:
<!-- saved from url=(0018)http://www.vtol.us -->
But until I can handle the REG switching, Good Java is useless here

Vtol,
In your javascript example, you <body> tag should look like::
| Code: | | <body onload="openindex();"> |
This will call your openindex() function when the document is loaded into
the browser. Javascript, if I'm not mistaken, is not allowed to open any
windows if there isn't a browser window opened already that is associated
with the calling process.
The above goes in your standalone <body> tag, not in the OpenWindow.document.write("<BODY>...") code
One other thing, to simply open a browser window without all the junk,
just specify the width and height attributes in the .open() function. _________________ Bill Weckel

Bill,
He is working with HTA and I think the rules are a little different for those. I have not worked with HTA in a long time so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
vtol,
Is it the first browser window or a pop up window that you are trying to show full screen? Sorry forgot to ask that yesterday. _________________ Home of

vtol,
I don't know if this will help but you can launch IE with the -k command line parameter which will put IE in kiosk mode when it is opened. _________________ Home of

Sorry, I guess I'm trying to accomplish several things in this post.
HTML not HTA (sorry I confuse things)
For now I would just like to open 1 window(test.html) in its own window and be able to remove the toolbar or menu bar.
In other words just be able to control 1 page, not 2 windows.
Is below even close to what I want above?
| Code: | <!-- saved from url=(0018)http://www.vtol.us -->
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
window.open ('TEST.html', 'newwindow', config='height=500,
width=700, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no,
location=no, directories=no, status=no')
-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onload="openindex();">
</body>
</html> |
I tried below, did not do anything, guess I'm a numbskull
| Code: | <!-- saved from url=(0018)http://www.vtol.us -->
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openindex("height=250;width=250;toolbar=no")
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html> |
hmm below is too much removed or too full screen:
iexplore -k "C:\work folder\test.html"
I guess what I really want is just to remove the toolbar or the menu bar.
I want it to look like .HTA but be .HTM or HTML (I'm so greedy )

Try this out Vtol. Only catch is that you will get prompted to confirm
closing the window that first opened when you clicked on the html file.
| Code: |
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Document</title>
<script language="javascript">
function winOpen()
{
var newWin = window.open("","TestJSWnd","width=500, height=500");
newWin.document.write("<center><h1>Hello There!!!</h1></center>");
newWin.document.write("<br><br><center>This is your new browser window</center>");
top.close(true);
return;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="winOpen()">
<center><p>Some content for this test</p></center>
</body>
</html>

Thats like the one that I had the other day, but I cant figure how to get rid of that nag warning
Heres another one I got to work, maybe it can be modified:
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<script>
function showPopup() {
window.open('test.html',null,"width=600,height=400,toolbar=no");
return false;
}
window.onload = function () {
document.getElementById('popupLink').onclick = showPopup;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a id="popupLink" href="test.html" target="_self">hmmm!</a>
</body>
</html> |
If VDS6 Browser was up to date on Flash, I would not be having to mess with this Java crap
Newer .SWF flash files are laggy in the VDS6 Browser... |

I tinkered some more and I think this will work for now:
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
window.moveTo(220, 150);
window.resizeTo(width=700,Height=500);
}
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="silver">
<font color=white><font size="5"><B><I>Weeeeeee</B></B></font>
</body>
<script tyle="text/javascript">
if (document.body.clientHeight!= 500)
{
window.open(document.location,"","menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,height=500,width=700");
window.opener = "me";
window.close();
}
</script>
</html> |
I forgot to say I messed around with the VDSDLL START which helps:
dll start,max,open,%%target
Maybe I missed something in the advanced SHELL attributes, never saw a toolbar attribute.
Thanks for all your alls help and anyother future help  |
