   Remove Taskbar/Popups in Fullscreen Mode
  I'm having the problem, that when in directx fullscreen mode, I'm still seeing artifacts of the taskbar. Like when a programm popups a message or something changes in the trayicon.You don't get to see the messages (like skype messages or email popups), but you somehow get the idea something is happening there...How can you disable these events, or how can those events be kept hidden ?   
  Usually that's what the popup window you pass to DirectX is for. Make sure it has the same size as the display mode.   ;  What is your window style set to? For fullscreen, you want WS_POPUP, and to hide the other windows you may want to change your window's Z position with SetWindowPos(..., HWND_TOPMOST, ...);   ;Quote:Original post by EndurionUsually that's what the popup window you pass to DirectX is for.

(until now...)Quote:Original post by Evil SteveWhat is your window style set to? For fullscreen, you want WS_POPUP, and to hide the other windows you may want to change your window's Z position with SetWindowPos(..., HWND_TOPMOST, ...);I'm using SlimDX + C#.So I set the borderstyle to NONE, TopMost to true, and the clientsize and location to the whole desktop. I think TopMost property is the same as setwindowpos(... TOPMOST...).I didn't use maximize, because it looked ugly (windows becoming larger and than smaller again etc...I think the idea with WS_POPUP is interesting...
