How to make fullscreen mode for my windows application? I checked forum but didn’t find any working solution.  
thanks!  
I saw that [http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1939&hilit=fullscreen](http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1939&hilit=fullscreen) but it has parent window on the background so I cannot close it by alt+F4

I don’t understand what you mean about a parent window, but ResizableWindow::setFullScreen() or Desktop::setKioskModeComponent should do the trick.

I do use it

`void MainComponent::onFullScreenModeItemTriggered()
{
	getPeer()->setFullScreen(true); 
	Desktop::getInstance().setKioskModeComponent(getTopLevelComponent(), false);
}`

but the title bar is visible though

Ah - a native title bar will be hidden, but a juce one won’t.

I tested setKioskModeComponent(…) on Windows 8. I think it is not correct, that the main window(DocumentWindow) can be resizable in the Kiosk Mode.  
Kiosk mode doesn’t work with native title bar, when the main window is resizable.

The DocumentWindow class doesn’t know when it’s in kiosk mode, so just lets you resize it. If you really want to have a non-resizable window, you need to use some other top-level component type, or turn off DocumentWindow’s resizability.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;MainWnd-\>setFullScreen(true);  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;MainWnd-\>setTitleBarHeight(0);

this works for me to do exactly what you were looking for,
