Re: know if an application need all the screen.

Not too sure of that one. I'm making an app that comes up to status window level when it gets an update - while I was watching a DVD the other day, it popped up in front of it (heh, forgot to quit it). So I'm pretty interested in this one too!

But I can say the DVD player is pretty robust, it didn't miss a beat when the window popped up in front of it then went back behind it two secs later - just kept going as if nothing had happened with no frameskips/audio glitches.

Most apps will do this anyways. When you put up the guard window to grab the whole screen, other stuff
can't go above it, even status level windows. Quake3 does this, and it's a textbook example of that
sort of game, so it should be automatic.

If an app isn't grabbing the whole screen properly, that's a different story entirely.
DVD Player in fullscreen mode seems to shield the display correctly, as does the iTunes visualizer, at least
in my setup.

Hi,

My application is always in front, but I would like to hide it when an application which needs all the screen like DVD Player or a game is launched.

Is there a way to know that ?

Thanks.

Thierry
