Hi, I am facing a problem with switching my DirectX9 2D game from Fullscreen to Windowed mode. By switching my app is changed to windowed mode but my desktop resolution won't change. That causes my window to display in fullscreen itself. Finaly I guess, I can solve this issue by adjusting the desktop resolution without destroying the window. How can I solve this? Any suggestion is really appreciable, Thanks in advance Eldhose Mathew

Thanks for the suggestion, Let me try it

I am currently using the following code to switch between window/fullscreen modes. This code is writtten before the CreateDevice function


if( bWindowed == TRUE )
{

d3dpp.Windowed = TRUE;
d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = d3ddm.Format;


}
else
{
d3dpp.Windowed = FALSE;
d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = SCREEN_WIDTH;
d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = SCREEN_HEIGHT;
d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = d3ddm.Format;//D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8;

}

Thanks again for your advice,

regards,
Eldhose

Following is my current function to switch between windowed mode and fullscreen. But my computer gets hangs on this. Please help me find out the error with this code.

Thanks you very much,
Eldhose
