Fullscreen/Window Setup/toggle
Post: #1
I'm using Objective C++ (so I have all those options). In the past I'd just inherit from NSOpenGLView and have a set view in a window to work in. This was great for the most part (as I like playing games in a window, even if the window takes up most of the screen).
But time has come for me to be able to do both windowed and fullscreen, and toggle. Advice on how to do this? Code? Donuts?

m'k, it toggles. but the code I use in drawrect doesn't draw when in full screen. In fact, the full screen view is all black. What's up?

You need to be careful about which OpenGL context is current, particularly given that NSOpenGLView likes to mess with it behind your back. Check the example code, it works

Something that bit me bad is that if you're sharing contexts, it doesn't share state. Even if you use the copyState selector, it doesn't copy things like the projection matrix.
If you're not setting up your projection again after the switch, you're dead. Bang.

That's actually a great feature of context sharing. Say you have two NSOpenGLView displaying stuff at the same time. Both are going to have their own context, and each will have their own state. However, they can share ressources in order to save VRAM. This way, you can have the same scene seen from different point of views (and/or with different shaders enabled) each in their own window.

the code below is crashing between a = 2 and a=3
Code:
if (_fullScreenContext != nil)
{
int a=0;
NSLog(@"%d",a++); //0
[_windowedContext clearDrawable];
NSLog(@"%d",a++);
CGCaptureAllDisplays();
NSLog(@"%d",a++); // 2
CGDisplaySwitchToMode(kCGDirectMainDisplay, (CFDictionaryRef)_fullScreenMode);
NSLog(@"%d",a++);
[_fullScreenContext setFullScreen];
NSLog(@"%d",a++); //4
[_fullScreenContext makeCurrentContext];
NSLog(@"%d",a++);
_fullScreen = YES;
NSLog(@"%d",a++); //6
NSSize contextSize;
NSLog(@"%d",a++);
contextSize.width = CGDisplayPixelsWide(kCGDirectMainDisplay);
NSLog(@"%d",a++); //8
contextSize.height = CGDisplayPixelsHigh(kCGDirectMainDisplay);
NSLog(@"%d",a++);
GSEventOpenGLContextStateInvalidated();
NSLog(@"%d",a++); //10
GSEventOpenGLContextResized(contextSize.width, contextSize.height);
NSLog(@"%d",a++);
}

Code:
CGDisplaySwitchToMode(kCGDirectMainDisplay, (CFDictionaryRef)_fullScreenMode);
Then _fullScreenMode must be invalid in some way...
