Hi all...can anybody point me to some code that shows how to change from windowed to full screen and back again?

Cheers.

Hiya,

This is a basic example how to do it:

Strict

Global Windowed = True

SetScreenMode Windowed

While Not KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE)
	Cls
	
	If KeyHit(KEY_W)
		Windowed = Not Windowed
		SetScreenMode Windowed
	EndIf
	
	If Windowed
		DrawText "Windowed",0,0
	Else
		DrawText "Fullscreen",0,0
	EndIf
	
	Flip
Wend

Function SetScreenMode(Win)
	If Win
		Graphics 800,600,0
	Else
		Graphics 800,600,32
	EndIf
EndFunction

After an EndGraphics command and then a new Graphics, would I have to reload all the elements again? I seem to remember in B3d that this was the case.

If you mean images then no. BlitzMax reloads the image texture the next time the image is drawn. However, some people force the reloading of textures after Graphics to prevent any pauses caused by the reload during gameplay.

Thanks so much, Oddball.
