It's OK, I'm not asking about birds and bees

Could anyone tell me how to setup the windows size/type and display mode for a fullscreen app with DX8? I''ve figured that I will have to test the default display mode of 800x600 first and if it checks, which it will in 95% of cases, then resize my window to that size as well. All I''m wondering is what functions and widnow states should I use to do this? If anyone can offer any info or slightly off topic tips- Thanks in advance! ~Vendayan

Resizing a window to fit the desktop is no problem though, so in case you need it in future, read up on these functions in MSDN...

GetSystemMetrics () // Notice SM_CXSCREEN and SM_CYSCREEN
MoveWindow ()
