VLC browser plugin fullscreen issue

Postby balasubramanya » 26 Jun 2013 08:13

Hi,

VLC uses HWND_TOPMOST in

Code: Select all

SetWindowPos(_FSWnd->getHWND(), HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN), 0/** /SWP_NOZORDER/**/);
Due to this the full screen window is created on top of all windows. We will not be able to go to any application unless we come back to normal screen.

If we use HWND_TOP we can go to other screens. But the issue is we can go back to the browser where we had done the fullscreen. This doesn't look proper. Is there any method to resolve this issue?

Regards,
Bala

It does that for the tooltip and the fullscreen controler. So far, this is normal.

Thanks JB. Is it possible to display the fullscreen window only on top the browser from where it is opened instead of making it on top of all the windows/applications that are currently available? Older vlc fullscreen implementation(Vlc 1.0.3) takes care of this issue.

Bala

Fullscreen is on the top of everything, this is why it is called fullscreen.
