Can't make a menu go away when switch to fullscreen

Does anyone know how to load a menu so that when I switch to fullscreen, the menu goes away, but then when I switch back to windowed mode it comes back again?? I know it is kinda a dumb question, but I haven't built a program with the menu in a while. [edited by - tylerbingham on December 18, 2002 10:40:35 PM]
lol, sorry but all i saw was "Can''t make a manu" which happens to be my bosses name. =X

Anyway, I haven''t tried this before but assuming you want the win32 way of doing it you could just use the HMENU LoadMenu(HINSTANCE, ) function when switching to windowed and call DestroyMenu(HMENU) when you switch back. That should do the trick. Check out those functions in the MSDN for more info.

I mean full screen graphics mode
destroy the complete window and make a new one when switching to fullscreen...
i use to use WS_POPUP | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_VISIBLE as window flags for fulllscreen and WS_CAPTION | WS_SIZEBOX | WS_VISIBLE | WS_SYSMENU for windowed mode...
attach the menu in case you''re in windowed mode...
