Re: Multi-Screen Full-Screen?

Thanks for this. I am able to make a spanning QCview at a window size of 2048x768, but still having trouble entering Full screen. I think it is my lack of knowledge with cocoa programming.
It seems like all the examples have too much going on and I am unable to reverse engineer them.
I'll keep at it though.....

thanks,

morgan

Morgan,

It's quite easy to make a QCView within Interface-Builder, just drag a QCView into a window.
There are some examples in your /Developer/Examples/ Folder.

However, if you want to make a "fullscreen"-app without menu/Dock things are a bit more complex (esp. when it comes to quicktime). There is an (old, but I found still useful) example @ CocoaDevCentral:

http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000028.php

I think "Developer/Examples/QC/Player/SlideShow/" also deals with fullscreen display (but does no toggle).


Nevertheless, the main concept of a FS-Window is quite simple:
- create a fresh window without any frames or toolbars (NSBorderlessWindowMask)
- assign a high window level (NSScreenSaverWindowLevel - 1)
and that's it!



Regards,
Michael

is there a link to an example for writing this kind of app? I would be very interested to find out how to do this.
I'm a novice at this, but wanting to dig in deeper. I have written a few small apps in cocoa that deal with video, but I am interested in using quartz composer with video and doing multi monitor spanning.
any help would be great.
thanks,

I'd like to have a wide-aspect composition span 2 different monitors, and still be able to hide the menu-bar and dock like fullscreen-mode. Is this possible within QC? Or does it require a cocoa app? If it is the latter, do I have to use two QCViews and somehow split my composition?







If the monitors are driven from the same video card, you can create a cocoa app that displays a window covering the 2 screens and has a QCView inside.
Note that most video cards are limited to rendering up to a maximum of 2048x2048 pixels.
