Fullscreen on secondary monitor

Hi,

I would need to fullscreen my application on the monitor where the application itself is currently running

glWindow.setFullscreen() goes always on the primary monitor, is it possible to have it on the secondary one?

Hi

Use NewtFactory to get a Display instance, then a Screen instance and after that create your GLWindow with this screen. A Screen instance might use several physical monitors which is not what you want.

Maybe Sven can explain it to you better than me.

@Sven, please can you fix the Java documentation so that the NEWT classes appear anew??

Is it possible to detect during runtime the monitor the glWindow is in and then use that?

Yes, NEWT Window has a getMainMonitor() method,
however, the window's screen instance must be realized already
to fetch all associated monitor devices.

Please check 'TestScreenMode01dNEWT' in our unit tests.

~Sven

Ok so

        final Display display = NewtFactory.createDisplay(null); // local display

        final Screen screen = NewtFactory.createScreen(display, 0); // screen 0

        glWindow = GLWindow.create(screen, glCapabilities);


If I write 0 is fine, if I write 1 then the frame will execute unfocused not in front and I need to explicitely click on the icon in the lower window bar

fullscreen goes always on the primary..

now!

You can also realize the 'screen' instance beforehand if you like
and query the screens monitor ahead of the glWindow realization
via addReference()/removeReference() _or_ createNative(), see unit tests.

Then you could query the main monitor via the screen instance using
getMainMonitor(RectangleImmutable).

In case this is for your VR stuff, in StereoDemo01 we simply use the
VR provided window coordinates.

I think that is always the case with fullscreen mode, that it always goes to primary. In OSX you can drag the title bar in screen arrangement to nominate a new primary screen.  Alternative you can have a full size window that is undecorated on the second display.  I think though that for hardware rendering the first approach is the only way to go, or use mirroring.

So, since I finally made it building JOGL I wanted to runt the TestScreenMode01aNEWT but I get some errors with the libs

Uhm, how can I set the target for the compiling?

I am doing this

        GLProfile gLProfile = GLProfile.getDefault();

        GLCapabilities gLCapabilities = new GLCapabilities(gLProfile);

        Display display = NewtFactory.createDisplay(null);
       
        Screen screen = NewtFactory.createScreen(display, 0);
       
        glWindow = GLWindow.create(screen, gLCapabilities);


How can I choose the display where going fullscreen now?

You can use Screen.getAllScreens() to get all screens and the pick up the one that fits into your needs.

Althought I didnt get how to pick up the one that I want, Screen.getAllScreens().size() returns 1 instead of 3, as many as I have.

Probably not working in a 'big desktop' enviornment.

Here, you can query the monitors covered by the one screen,
and use those.

screen.getMonitorDevices() is null (screen isnt)

Edit: forget it, I didnt use screen.addReference(). Ok now screen.getMonitorDevices().size() returns 3! :)

I could never solve the problems to have the demos running..

Sorry. I think that we should write a page in the wiki about that as several people already ask some questions about that:
screen = virtual monitor
monitor = physical monitor

In a big desktop environment, you can use multiple physical monitors to make a single virtual monitor.

The link was broken, it's better now:

Please use this method with the Monitor you'd like to use:

Let me know whether it's not accurate enough and keep cool, we're here to help you ;)

Edit.: You can pass a list containing a single monitor.

:D I meant I never solved the problem I had while trying to run the jogl demos.. I refer for example to the library issue, where jogl is looking for dll in a very strange directory and is looking the IA architecture version..

Anyway, since I couldnt run them, I did read them, that's why I found the addReference() missing..

Yeah, a wiki would be very very useful.

Anyway, it seems it is working now

        screen = NewtFactory.createScreen(display, 0);

        screen.addReference();

        glWindow = GLWindow.create(screen, gLCapabilities);

        List<MonitorDevice> monitorDevices = new ArrayList<>();
        monitorDevices.add(screen.getMonitorDevices().get(i));
        glWindow.setFullscreen(monitorDevices);

I can have the fullscreen on the i-th monitor I want :)

Just few considerations:

- the keyListener doesnt work anymore now at fullscreen, but I will investigate something more on this, maybe it is my fault

- addReference() takes a lot of time, more than 10s, is it normal?

- I always found the jogl forum crap. Dont get me wrong, I am not blaming you guys for the work you do for free and all the effort you put in it. I thank you all for everything you did up today. I want you to not get this like a critic, but rather as an improvement/suggest.
I just think a modern forum would: increase the success of jogl platform, make it appear more modern and updated with our current times. I attend different forums, many of them as a lot of useful features, for example a much better support for the quote, multiquote, thanks to the author of a post, link for going to the first unread message, a much nicer good looking, (better) supports for code, quote, links, images, videos, etc etc.
This is one I think is one of the best out there (http://www.invisionpower.com/apps/board/), but it is just an example.
I say this because I use and love jogl, so helping make it better is all in my interest :)
