Maximize Button????

[nexus]

Hello everybody!!!
I´m new to the Autoplay program and after following the tutorial included i realized that when you preview the project the maximizing button is greyed and cannot be used.
It´s possible to activate it in order to resize it to a full-screen resolution??

Thanks a lot

Hello Nexus,

If I understand you correctly, you are referring to the "windows" maximize button? (the button that is on the top right corner of most programs).

If that's the case, AutoPlay Media Studio projects cannot be resized like that. The window size you specify in the Windows Setting dialog is the size of the window. You'll also notice that you can't resize the window by using the mouse.

If you want full-screen resolution, there are a couple of options. You could create a seperate application for each resolution (800x600, 1024x768, etc), and one 'master app' that decides what the resolution is and launches the correct program.

Or, you could design your app for the lowest common denomonator (for example, if your users have screens 800x600 or greater, make your app 800x600).

Lastly, you could use the Kiosk mode, which runs your app 'fullscreen'. Any desktop space not taken by the size of yoru app is filled with a color of your choice. (i'm sure the docs explain that concept better than i can).

THere's another way, but it's usually much too much work. I made a resizeable web browser once, which resized and repositioned all of the objects to fullscreen, no matter what the user's resolution was. I've attached it.

Hope that helps!

You are most welcome. This project was kinda fun to make. One of those "can it actually be done" projects.
