I just downloaded the ad-supported version of DBPro and compiled one of my old DBClassic projects. At first, the application appeared in a window, so I read the documentation and found the command Set Window Off, but I have a problem with this command.

I'm used to run my 3D apps in stereoscopic 3D with the XP nVidia stereo drivers, which I set to activate stereo 3D mode automatically when the application switches to full screen. The problem with Set Window Off is that when I run a DBPro application I compiled, stereo 3D never activates, as if the application was still running in a window (even though it's a window without borders, and positioned so it covers everything else on the screen). I only have this problem with DBPro applications (every other 3D application I have works correctly).

This is why I'm asking if DBPro has an alternative to Set Window Off, so that stereoscopic 3D will activate correctly with DBPro applications.

You could try setting the application to true fullscreen exclusive mode - if you are using the latest editor then select the Properties tab, and select a screen type of Fullscreen.

If that doesn't work, then it may be because DBPro does its own stereoscopic thing with the command SET CAMERAS TO STEREOSCOPIC. Don't ask me how well this works as I haven't got any stereoscopic glasses - the parameters seem to be fairly self-explanatory.

This had no effect: stereoscopy could not be activated at all.

The only stereo modes supported by this command are anaglyph (for red/cyan glasses) and the proprietary mode for iz3D monitors. But I use page-flipping mode (for shutterglasses and visors), which this command does not support.
