Detecting a fullscreen application

Hello everyone,

I have a small application I wrote that sits in the systray and pops open a
small window if an event occurs. Works fine, except when I'm playing games.
:) If I have a fullscreen application going, the popup will steal focus
almost randomly causing the game to minimize. This is extremely annoying. Is
there a way to detect if anything is running in fullscreen mode? That way I
can prevent the popup from opening if there is.

Thanks,
Frij

Hello, I read from sun site about fullscreen mode and active rendering and now I am in doubt! is active rendering for only fullscreen applications? I am planning to develop an windowed application using swing and it will include a lot of animations on each frame... Can I use active rendering still? What is the best way of improving animation speed? Or just calling the repaint() when the screen changes is enough? (Of course I will use...

Hi, I am pretty poor at JavaScript so if this is a stupid question I apologise in advance. I am wanting to make the index.html page of a site open the browser up in Full screen mode. I understand I can do this when the viewer clicks a link to the page but I want it to happen when the viewer comes to the site by either typing the address in or a link from another source.

Hi there, First off, let me say that I know that launching to full screen is a bad idea. I would never do it given the choice, but I must follow orders from my boss, the boss that desparately wants a desktop application made out of Internet technologies. We're writing an application that has JavaScript enabled as a client machine requirement. We need to support Windows with IE 5+ and Netscape 7+ plus Mac with IE 5+ and Netscape 6.2+.

Hi, I really need your help here, I looked all over and couldn't find an answer to my problem: I developed a flash-based site in which I have a gallery of pictures and when the user presses a magnifier the picture opens in a new pop-up window. Now, I want this window to be in fullscreen mode. Since I am doing it from the Flash my code might seem a bit strange: function BigImage() {
