Yes, I have no clue how to do this? I would think It's inside User32.dll, but I have no idea what command inside the dll to wrap for.

thank you very much. Maybe it's asking too much, but Is there a way to make it always appear in front of the taskbar as well?

Oh whoops missed that, yes. This fixes all my graphics dramas inside full screen exclusive mode and gives users a choice between that and full/normal window.

Here we go:
[pbcode]
FUNCTION MaxWindow()
   `Get the cur win handle
   wHnd=GETSCREENHANDLE()
   IF wHND
      ThisDll=GETFREEDLL()
      LOADDLL "user32",ThisDll

      IF GETDLLSTATUS(ThisDll)
         ; Call the ShowWindow Function with MAX
`Set window to maximize
         SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
         CALLDLL ThisDll,"ShowWindow", wHND, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
         `window varibles; Make window top, stationary AND max screen size
         HWND_TOPMOST = -1: SWP_NOMOVE = 2: SWP_NOSIZE = 1
         CALLDLL ThisDll,"SetWindowPos", wHND, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE

         DELETEDLL ThisDll
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
ENDFUNCTION
[/pbcode]

Yes, I feel like such a newbie, but is there a list of all functions inside user32 and their params?

Yeah, it's called the Windows SDK :)

I see, I never have tinkered with the windows stuff, not that I really like to :P
