This function can be used to take over certain areas of the screen. It is used to modify the taskbar, Input Panel button, or Start menu icon.
Syntax
BOOL SHFullScreen(
HWND hwndRequester,
DWORD dwState
);
Parameters
- hwndRequester
[in] Handle to the top-level window requesting the full-screen state. If you are using one of the SHFS_HIDE* flags, this window must be the foreground window or the function will fail.
dwState
[in] Specifies the state of the window. The following table shows the possible values for this parameter.State Description SHFS_SHOWTASKBAR
Return the taskbar to its topmost state.
SHFS_HIDETASKBAR
Put the taskbar at the bottom of the z-order. Note that a game or an application that requires the entire screen may use this flag. Be sure that your application is sized to full screen before using this flag. Otherwise, it will appear as though the function did nothing.
SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON
Returns the Input Panel button to its visible state.
> [!NOTE] > Supported only on a Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic.SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON
Hides the Input panel button.
> [!NOTE] > Supported only on a Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic.SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON
Return the Start button icon to the taskbar.
> [!NOTE] > Supported only on a Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic.SHFS_HIDESTARTICON
Hide the Start button icon on the taskbar. When the Start icon is hidden, the shell is in a special state in which clicking the taskbar will not display the Start menu. The taskbar is essentially disabled when in this state. While in this mode, WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP messages will be forwarded to hwndRequester. This allows an application to drop out of this mode by calling this function with the SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON state when the user clicks the taskbar.
> [!NOTE] > Supported only on a Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic.
Return Value
This function returns TRUE if it is successful and FALSE if it fails.
