I'm finishing up my first video game and am in the process of adding menus. I have a start menu and a game over menu. Each one is a separate dialog box contained within its own state for the game's finite state machine. In windowed mode, everything runs fine, but in full screen, I can only get one menu or the other to show itself at runtime. The other window is not displayed. However, the windows always have focus. I can manipulate the dialogs using the keyboard. Furthermore, if I alt-tab away and then back, there is the dialog box in the corner of my desktop at my development resolution, not the game's resolution!
Menu State:
//=============================================================================
// Menu State
//=============================================================================
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Menu Dialog Box Callback
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOL CALLBACK MenuDialogProc( HWND hWndDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
switch( uMsg )
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
//Load the high scores and print them to the dialog
BringWindowToTop( hWndDlg );
ShowWindow( hWndDlg, SW_SHOW );
SetWindowPos( hWndDlg, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 200, 220, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE );
return TRUE;
case WM_COMMAND:
switch( wParam )
{
case IDOK:
EndDialog( hWndDlg, 0 );
g_game->ChangeState( STATE_GAME ); //Start Apache!
return TRUE;
case IDCANCEL:
EndDialog( hWndDlg, 0 );
PostQuitMessage( 0 ); //Exit the program
return TRUE;
}
break;
}
return FALSE;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Render the dialog
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
void MenuState::Render()
{
DialogBox( g_game->GetSetup()->instance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MENU),
g_game->GetWindow(), MenuDialogProc );
}
Game State:

//=============================================================================

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
void GameState::Load()
{
//First, prepare the rendering system
SetWindowPos( g_game->GetWindow(), HWND_TOP, 0, 0,
g_game->GetSetup()->width, g_game->GetSetup()->height, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE );
ShowCursor( false );
m_objMgr = g_game->GetObjectManager();
m_spriteMgr = g_game->GetSpriteManager();
m_objMgr->Add( OT_PLAYEROBJECT, m_spriteMgr );
m_objMgr->Add( OT_CURSOROBJECT, m_spriteMgr );
//Prepare the game's data
m_score = 0;
m_counter = 0.0f;
m_threshold = 5.0f;
m_level = 0;
//Now, let's load the users list of background music
m_trackList = new LinkedList<Sound>();
Script* list = new Script( "TrackList.txt", "Assets/" );
char path[MAX_PATH], title[MAX_PATH];
int counter = 0;
Sound* curSound;
do
{
sprintf( title, "song%d", counter++ );
if( list->GetStringData( title ) == NULL )
break;
sprintf( path, "%s", list->GetStringData( title ) );
curSound = new Sound( path, "" );
if( curSound != NULL )
m_trackList->Add( curSound );
} while( true ); //until path is null and the loop breaks
m_sound = m_trackList->GetFirst();
m_sound->GetSegment()->AddNotificationType( GUID_NOTIFICATION_SEGMENT );
m_sound->Play( false, DMUS_SEGF_AUTOTRANSITION );
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Close
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
void GameState::Close()
{
//Don't delete objMgr or spriteMgr - they are part of g_game!
m_sound->Stop();
SAFE_DELETE( m_sound );
m_objMgr->Purge();
m_spriteMgr->Purge();
ShowCursor( true ); //Give the user the cursor for dialog boxes
//ShowWindow( g_game->GetWindow(), SW_BOTTOM );
SetWindowPos( g_game->GetWindow(), HWND_BOTTOM, 0, 0,
g_game->GetSetup()->width, g_game->GetSetup()->height, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE );
}
//-->Remaining functions deleted for clarity<--
Game Over dialog:

//=============================================================================

//=============================================================================
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Dialog Box Callback
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOL CALLBACK GameOverDialogProc( HWND hWndDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
switch( uMsg )
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
//Print the users score to 'IDC_SCORE'
SetWindowPos( hWndDlg, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 200, 220, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE );
BringWindowToTop( hWndDlg );
ShowWindow( hWndDlg, SW_SHOW );
return TRUE;
case WM_COMMAND:
switch( wParam )
{
case IDOK:
EndDialog( hWndDlg, 0 );
//Update high scores
g_game->ChangeState( STATE_MENU );
return TRUE;
case IDCANCEL:
EndDialog( hWndDlg, 0 );
g_game->ChangeState( STATE_MENU );
return TRUE;
}
break;
}
return FALSE;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Render the dialog
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
void GameOverState::Render()
{
DialogBox( g_game->GetSetup()->instance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_GAMEOVER),
g_game->GetWindow(), GameOverDialogProc );
}
By randomly shuffling SetWindowPos, BringWindowToTop, and ShowWindow I can alter which dialog is shown and which one is hidden, as well as at what resolution, but I can't find a corrolation.
WTF is going on?!?!?!
Thank you in advance,
Tlak
