I have a web browser inside a form which is cut out using mscomctl.ocx.
I have a full screen button on my form but i need to use the same web browser.
I tried calling the fullscreen as a new object but this is no good because i dont want the flash file in the web browser to start over.
Since the original webbrowser window is inside a irregular shaped form anything that goes outside the shape of my form either dosent work or is automaticaly the same shape and size as the form.
I am being quite confusing but i am very confused.
Now here is where it gets hard I need to see if there is a keydown to quit fullscreen and go back to shaped form.
I have tried using win32 but it is no good at controling a IE object.
I even tried putting a transparent form over the top of the ie object to capture the keypress in fullscreen but to no avail.
There is probly no real solution to my problems but its worth asking anyhow.
++++++++If anyone knows how to detect if a flash file is finished playing please tell me+++++++++
