Hello, I was trying to make a fullscreen window using the windows API. However, when I create a window using the height and width as SM_CX/YFULLSCREEN, the window covers the entire horizontal, but for some reason, the window doesn''t cover the title bar and part of the desktop. In short, it is too small. Can anyone tell me what I''m doing wrong, or at least how to make a window cover the entire screen? -Blackstream "See you later, I'm going to go grab a few Bytes. I'm so thirsty, I could drink a whole data stream."

this works for me:

            if(!(hWnd=CreateWindow(	"Class",	// class			"Title",	// title			WS_POPUP|WS_VISIBLE,	// flags			0,0,		// x, y pos			GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN),	// xsize			GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN),	// ysize			NULL,		// handle to parent			NULL,		// handle to menu			hinstance,	// instance from winmain			NULL)))		// creation parameters		return(0);

Thanks, I figured out what my problem was. I was using SM_CXFULLSCREEN and SM_CYFULLSCREEN instead of SM_CXSCREEN and SM_CYSCREEN. Fullscreen gives you the CLIENT area, and plain old screen just gives you the lengths. Client can make a heck of a lot of difference... Man that stupid problem gave me a headache, but all the stupid ones do.
