get windowed/fullscreen mode at runtime ?

How is it possible to get the current video mode of the device ? I need to know if the application runs in either full screen or windowed mode.

Thanks.

I believe this question was already answered in this post
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... fullscreen

EDIT: Oops! This was from May, not June

How about changing fullscreen/windowed mode at runtime via a button for example

?

Thanks in advanced

i don't believe irrlicht allows for screen size changing during runtime. if you want, you might be able to de-initialize the device, and then reinitialize it after, restoring memory links manually. this would be a difficult and tedious task that might require some advanced programming procedures

you might want to try the 'setWindowIsResizable(bool)' function from the api. you can find it simply by searching for 'createDevice'

But this would be much more important for fullscreen. I guess it should be possible.
