I got one question regarding the command "Set Display Mode".

I'm currently working on an Entity-Viewer for my game engine.
I'm heavily working with bbb GUI and whenever I resize the Window I use "Set Display Mode" to update the window to it´s new resolution.

This doesn't generate any problems with resolutions like 687x751 for example.
But if I want to maximize the window, which results in a resolution of 1920x1024, the program crashes.
If I try to set this resolution right at the start the program gives me "Runtime Error 1507 - Display using 32 bit is not supported by available hardware"

wtf?
What's the difference between 687x751 and 1920x1024?

EDIT:
Btw the program is set to compile with window mode.
EDIT:
Of course there's no difference if I try it with 16 bit Depth.


EDIT:
I just discovered that it works with a resolution of 1919x1024.
It also crashes with a resolution of 1919x1080.
The resolution 1919x1079 on the other hand is fine.
My Monitors maximum resolution is 1920x1080, so I always have to subtract 1.

It seems like resolutions of the monitors max resolution are crashing in windowed mode.
Seems like a bug to me.
In my understanding the maximum resolution of the monitor should be fine in windowed mode.

Maybe it's a Windows 7/Vista bug. I don't really remember if Windows XP still had a window border for maximized windows, but Windows 7 has not, but maybe that has nothing to do with it anyway.

EDIT:
This is my fix, but I still think it's a strange behavior.

Since "Check Display Mode" can't be used in this windowed mode situation this is my only chance, I guess. I just have to hope it will always work as intended XD.
There is no additional check for windowed mode because the program will always be in windowed mode.

Heya champ;

I've been looking into this issue lately too. Start doing searches on User32.DLL, there's some really cool sample code about that solves some of these problems.

Let me looky... I'll post a link in a second.

Here is the thread;

Let me know if you need further help.

Thanks for the link.
The resizing is already working as intended.
I know about the reloading of media, and built my entity system to do this for me automatically.

The way I did this I can even minimize without crashing the application.

The only question I have is actually the same which is unanswered in the thread you linked here: Why does the maximum desktop resolution crash the windowed mode? XD
