is there a full screen flag for opengl like there is for DX??? if so what is it and to what function do i pass it to. thanks. ec ECKILLER

You can call a win32 function called ChangeDisplaySettings:

DEVMODE dm;
memset(&dm, 0, sizeof(DEVMODE));
dm.dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE);
dm.dmPelsWidth = 640; // your windowsize
dm.dmPelsHeight = 480; // your windowsize
dm.dmFields = DM_PELSWIDTH / DM_PELSHEIGHT;

ChangeDisplaySettings(&dm, CDS_FULLSCREEN);

When you create your window, don´t forget to use the
WS_POPUP flag (3rd argument).

Also, if you''re in glut, you can just call glutFullScreen(). Source code for that function is also available if you just want to copy and paste from inside it.
