Sub App Menu issue

[Warmachine]

im having a problem making the menu take up the entire frame when in full screen mode. when it is in window mode it works fine, covers the whole frame, but in full screen it just takes up the 0,0 coordinate of the frame with the active character. i've tried resizing and such with no luck.

Is it the Application menu built into MMF2 or a custom one you made??

[Warmachine]

Its the app that is built into mmf2

You mean a sub application? I am having trouble understanding. Do you meanu as in Application Menu with File, Options, Help? Or do you mean menu as in the menu screen of the game where you can choose play, tutorial, or quit?

Sorry for the confusion :/ i mean like an in game menu that pops up when you hit enter. when you hit enter, you have the choice to resume the game or return to the title(at least at this point). im just playing around with different things that i plan on implementing in the game and getting them down ya know? the main issue is that when the game is in window mode it does what i want it too, take up the screen, but while in fullscreen mode it just takes up a portion of the screen. other than that it works fine thus far :grin: (btw, im using this by following the example created by nivram)

Hm, on the frame that the sub-app is getting, check the option "Resize display to window size at start" then see if resizing works.

no dice man, it actually shrank the size of the sub app and made a white border around where it used to fill up the corner.

Warmachine,I have a sub-app pause/menu example on my website. It uses the space bar to open and close it. Maybe it will help?

thanks nivram (im actually on your site now lol) and i got what i have thus far by following the example you have made. it does the job but when i hit fullscreen it doesnt scale the way i need it to.

I believe your making a pause menu.

I don't think its possible by using the sub application object. I already suggesting resizing in the 'Features/Updates Wanted' topic, but I don't know the status of it getting implemented yet.

In the meantime, you could create your own game menu by putting all of your code in groups and deactivating/activating the groups whenever the game is paused.
