Applet : Switching FullScreen on/off

Shared Code
#21 

               public void setFullScreen(boolean flag)
               {
                    // ... snip ...

                    this.requestFocus();
               }

:wink:

yes it already does, but for web security you cannot gain focus whenever you want within applet (same as in javascrit)

#23

there could be a race condition involved since it works “most of the time” without refreshing the page.

you could try to delay the focus request a bit by putting it to the end of the EDT queue.

		    if(this.parent!=null)
		      	this.parent.add(this);
		    if(this.frame!=null)
		    	this.frame.dispose();
		    this.fullscreen=false;
		 }
	    this.setBounds(0,0,this.getParent().getSize().width,this.getParent().getSize().height);
	    
	    SwingUtils.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {this.requestFocus();}
});

FocusListener added to the applet’s content pane with System.out.println() would help to debug further whether its a ignored requestFocus() issue or something else.

I have made some few modification and find something strange, it seems that I success (bt that was not really my goal… and it look more like a hack than a success but…) to switch pseudo-fullscreen without anykind of Java Alert message(at least with Java 1.6-07)

anyone can try it and tell me if they can see the “Window Applet Alert Message” or like…

=> also this version work with applet 1.1 except that the title bar is not removed

It worked great here, firefox/vista32/Java1.6.13. I saw no security message and could toggle back and forth several times. The taskbar was not covered but the rest of the screen was.

#26

thanks zoto, but no security message is normal, I was more wondering about the “window alert” that may be show in the bottom of the screen or as an exclamation icon (something that warn you that this is a Java window), but it seems that I was wrong when saying it does not appear, it seems to only be the case when trying it locally over internet there is a little banner at the bottom of the fullscreen window containing the text “Java window”.

do you have such icon exclamation or text banner when going into fullscreen ?

note that the first post source code is still the old one wich as a cupple of issue (as not working on older JVM), I will update with the new one ASAP

#27

Worked mostly fine(or as you described :slight_smile: ) here, and no “window alert” but task-bar visible.

WinXP, java 1.6.13. FF 3, IE 7

Aside:
IE 7 (F5) cycled applet - fullscreen - applet - reload - fullscreen - applet - reload
FF F5 worked as toggle.
OutOfMemError killed it after a while

#28

about the reload as you can guess this is normal … my stupidness… the key I have choosen to switch to fulscreen (F5) was not the best idea I could have…

[quote]FF .F5 worked as toggle
OutOfMemError killed it after a while

not sur I understand , sry … what do you mean ? did you get OutOfMemory after one or more than one switch , or does it dont work on FF ?
