how to make a fullscreen window?

[Lloyd Dupont]

I mean like VS.NET fullscreen windows?

I was thinking: simply remove the border, set maximized and topmost.

however I will have problem with dialog then (which would be behind my
window, don't they?) (uh?!)

any other idea?

if you pass a reference to the fullscreen window as the "IWin32Window owner"
dialog's parameter then I believe that the dialog will popup on top of your
window.

in fact no need to make it top most!
being borderless enable it to be over the task bar when maximized!

(but you could still ALT+TAB or WINDOWS key to bring other app, nice)
