Im not sure i understand how the flags work , this doesn't seem to do anything to the size of the window

Code: Select all

'$lang:"qb"

screen 12,,, (GFX_FULLSCREEN)

?" hello world full screen"


sleep:end

AFAIK the Screen syntax you are using is not available with -lang qb, so your choices for full-screen are -lang "fb" and -lang "fblite".

Try

Code: Select all

'$lang:"qb"

__screen 12,,, 1

?" hello world full screen"


sleep:end

Works fine here. Using the latest daily build.

It works on my PC with :
fbc: FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 0.21.1 (08-11-2010) for win32 (target:win32)
OS: Windows XP (build 2600, Service Pack 2)

After some tests, it works from FreeBASIC version 0.21.0 (I kept installed on my PC all the official FreeBASIC versions from 0.12b : 14 versions!).
