Is there a way to change the window size/resolution?

[SkarutsParticipant]

I’ve been trying to figure this out, but there doesn’t seem to be an obvious way to do it.

I also tried recreating the window with a new size, but that leaves me with two windows because I don’t know how to destroy the first one.

The easiest way is to override the window size in the window constructor.

Have a look at the mojo template project – replace the 640,480 with your desired size:

Monkey

Namespace myapp #Import "<std>" #Import "<mojo>" Using std.. Using mojo.. Class MyWindow Extends Window Method New( title:String="Simple mojo app",width:Int=640,height:Int=480,flags:WindowFlags=Null ) Super.New( title,width,height,flags ) End Method OnRender( canvas:Canvas ) Override App.RequestRender() canvas.DrawText( "Hello World!",Width/2,Height/2,.5,.5 ) End End Function Main() New AppInstance New MyWindow App.Run() End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

Namespace myapp   #Import "<std>" #Import "<mojo>"   Using std.. Using mojo..   Class MyWindow Extends Window   Method New( title:String="Simple mojo app",width:Int=640,height:Int=480,flags:WindowFlags=Null )   Super.New( title,width,height,flags ) End   Method OnRender( canvas:Canvas ) Override App.RequestRender() canvas.DrawText( "Hello World!",Width/2,Height/2,.5,.5 ) End End   Function Main()   New AppInstance New MyWindow App.Run() End

Ah, sorry, I should’ve been more clear… :\

I meant it as in changing the window size during runtime. If I could do that I might have different resolution options that the player can choose from.

The View.Frame property can be used to ‘layout’ views – try adding this to your Window class:

Monkey

Method Resize( width:Int,height:Int ) Frame=New Recti( 0,0,width,height ).Centered( New Recti( 0,0,App.DesktopSize ) ) End

1 2 3 4

Method Resize( width:Int,height:Int )    Frame=New Recti( 0,0,width,height ).Centered( New Recti( 0,0,App.DesktopSize ) ) End

I’m reluctant to add this to the Window class as a ‘core’ method as it duplicates functionality that’s already there (ie: Frame). However, perhaps it would make sense to add some stuff like via built-in extension methods? This approach worked out well with Entity class IMO.

And of course if your doing fullscreen there is also BeginFullscreen/EndFullscreen…

Hey that works!

Thanks.

Well, I think maybe at least there could be a sample program that uses it. Maybe Pakz could add it to his collection of examples. Unless he already has it and I overlooked it…

Or, you could add this to mojo/app/windows:

Monkey

[crayon-5cba16d4b77ed542823536 inline="true" ] method WindowResize( x:int, y:int, width:int, height:int) SDL_SetWindowPosition( _sdlWindow, x, y ) SDL_SetWindowSize( _sdlWindow, width, height ) _frame = GetFrame() Frame = _frame _weirdHack = true End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

[crayon-5cba16d4b77ed542823536 inline="true" ] method WindowResize( x:int, y:int,  width:int, height:int) SDL_SetWindowPosition( _sdlWindow, x, y ) SDL_SetWindowSize( _sdlWindow, width, height ) _frame = GetFrame() Frame = _frame _weirdHack = true End

add some stuff like via built-in extension methods?

Yes a simpler official resize method would be nice…

Ok, will do.

[GwenelParticipant]

I have a request, would it possible to also create a flag for the titlebar on Android so it could be toggled at runtime?
