Re: Full screen but out of focus

Dear ZMan,
In fact I need to have the most available control on the presentation,
it is a scientific experiment and I need to present images for just a
screen refresh (10ms on a 100Hz monitor). As far as I tested in the
windowed mode things go out of accurate control. I want to know if
there is any possible way (at anylevel) to keep it in a real fullscreen
mode without focus.
Thanks for your reply
Ali

Not that I know of - full screen assumes its in control of everything and
windows will take control back when something else has focus.

On work around is to use 'fake' full screen. So make a windows form with no
border or captions, make it the size of the screen and make it 'always on
top'

I am presenting some pictures, somthing like a slide show, on a second
monitor using sprits.
On the primary monitor I need to run another program and to control a
hardware.
The problem is, when my presentation software lost the focus, like when I
click on the hardware control program, the direct3d device is lost and the
presentation stops.
Is thereanyway I can keep a fullscreen presentation running on one monitor
while I have another program focused in the other monitor?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Ali
