Enter Full Screen

Greetings, NUG

I have a View menu associated with a window. Its purpose is to open various subsidiary windows to present data in detail that is displayed in low resolution in the main window. Works nice but the View menu has an item I did not add: “Enter Full Screen”. I DO NOT WANT that bloody item. How do I get rid of it. (current Xojo release)?

Many thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,

This is a semi-auotomagic setting. I believe generally the menuitem is included if the window is resizable to larger than the screen size. Setting the maxheight/maxwidth to something less than the screen size should do it for you.

Perhaps others form Xojo can further clarify the rules.

Making the maximum less than the available sizes of screen(0) did nothing. When I disable the Full Screen button, the menu entry is not enabled but is still present. I have the feeling that I need to change the menu to something other than “View” to get rid of it.

Jim, I’m sorry I don’t have more details and can’t seem to find a forum post I read on the topic.

Here’s a few workarounds you can try:

Try hiding/removing the menu in the window constructor or open event. If this doesn’t work you might be able to override the automatically added menu by creating your own. You could then hide/remove your menu item.

Finally, in macOSLib there is an NSWindow class with a property NSWindow.FullscreenAllowed. I use the following in window constructors to prevent fullscreen mode. I don’t know what it may do for the auto added View menu items:

#IF TargetMacOS Then
dim ns as New NSWindow
ns = Self
ns.FullscreenAllowed = False
#ENDIF

HTH,

The simple solution is to change the menu name to something other than “View”. Changed to “Windows” and the menu item “Enter Full Screen” is gone.
