Thread: Applet and Fullscreen !!

Hello,

It's my first post here. I have a hard problem for me.

When my Applet starts and i got a fullscreen application (games, programms...) this minimize!
I dont know why... anyone knows something about this? any solution?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Not sure I understand what you are doing. Applets run in a browser. Does the browser's window change?
Does your applet create another frame?

Can you make and post here a small simple example that compiles, executes and demonstrates your problem?

It's not easy.
I have a application and all hours it calls a page with the applet (like 11h, 12h 13h...). This page open in a hidden IE window.
The application and the applet works fine, but if i have a game in fullscreen, the game will be minimized when the applet starts.

If you have more questions please ask me. Thanks.

Is any of this code that you are writing?
It sounds like you are complaining about the way some other programs work.

Is an application of mine. I'm now developing.
Any idea to fix that problem? :s

Can you make a small simple program that compile, executes and will show the problem?
Then describe the steps to take to make it show the problem.

Now is not possible, i'm working...
But the problem is, when the applet starts the game minimize. maybe is a "focus" problem or any java definition or html java call problem... i dont know :p

What do you mean by "when the applet starts"?
Where is the browser that runs the applet? Is it open and executing?

"when the applet starts" means when appears the JVM icon on windows try bar.
The browser is Internet Explorer and is opened with parameter to hidden and with the page with applet.

Sounds like a lot of parts and interrelations that would be hard to duplicate for testing.

One application launch Internet explorer with arguments to hidden and to target the URL site with applet...

What are the IE arguments for hidden?

Is a C# arguments like
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.FileName = "IEXPLORE.exe";
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

Sorry, only do Java here.

It calls a java applet...

How do you start IE in hidden mode?

with the previous code.

Was your previous code in Java? I don't recognize the class

No is c# but the problem is after this...

Right.
How does hidden mode differ from minimized to an icon in the taskbar?

Yes, correct.

Is this an OS thing. It wants to show something so it moves whatever is in the way out of the way.
