Hi, i've posted not long ago about how to set FullScreen and someone has
cleverly adviced me to "fake" it.
I did it but, i have some little problems:
   1. I use the SetWindowPos(&wndTop ... to maximize the window all the
desktop.
When i do that, the taskbar stays for like one- 2seconds before dissapearing
(with a ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);UpdateWindow();ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); the problem
is gone, but appears a fickering. Also i don't want to use the
SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost ...). Is there any way to fix this ?
  
  2. Hidding the mouse after no mousemove . I tried to use a timer and in
OnMouseMove to use a SetCUrsor(NULL) ...., but my whole window got screwup.
The same if instead of SetCursor i use var_IVideoWindow.HideCursor. ANy
hints here please ???

  3. If i use the overlay mixer, the tv mirroring is OK, but with video
renderer - even if it uses overlay, if another window is displayed on top
mine, then the secondary monitor exists fullscreen. Can i do something here ?

  4. It has no connection with the title, but can someone give me a hint on
how can i retrieve the audio and video codecs form a file(like xvid,
AC3-5channels ....)

Thanks alot, guys ...
