Thanks so much, Carlos. This was exactly what I needed.
In Gtkmm:
Gtk::Window has the methods fullscreen and unfullscreen. Perfect.
Rather than using a bool of my own to track the state, I did what the docs
on fullscreen() suggested and set a function to be signaled when the windows
state changed.
LXMainWindow::LXMainWindow()
{
<snip>
m_bFullScreen = false;
signal_window_state_event().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&LXMainWindow::OnWindowStateEvent));
}
void LXMainWindow::ToggleFullScreen()
{ // Toggle fullscreen mode off and on.
if (m_bFullScreen))
unfullscreen();
else
fullscreen();
}
bool LXMainWindow::OnWindowStateEvent(
GdkEventWindowState* pEvent) // [in] from system -- has flags of current
state
{
m_bFullScreen = (pEvent->new_window_state &
GDK_WINDOW_STATE_FULLSCREEN);
return true; // we want to keep getting this signal
}
Thanks again. Happy coding!
