(C++) Resize/Fullscreen Windows at Runtime

[tehsilly]

This code is supposed to manage an Irrlicht device in a way that might make it easier to resize the window, go to/from fullscreen, apply anti-aliasing, etc at runtime. I wrote it last night because my internet was down and I was bored. I used it to make an application with two windows which will hopefully go fullscreen on two different monitors as soon as I get the displays configured (I think you can do that). You can pretty easily run multiple windows with it, but it takes some TLC to make things go smoothly.

C++, OOP, pretty simple code but you might want to know classes pretty well.
FYI, the project is set up kind of Model/View/Controllerish, which adds some code to the project, it's simpler than it looks at first glance.

Since I didn't have internet when I did this (or the engine source), I couldn't really look up much and I suspect it's kind of a gray area. It'd be great if someone was interested and ripped me a new one for bad implementation, and would be even better if they knew a better way to do it.

Demo and the VS.NET project here:

I can post the code here as well if anyone is interested.

I've really been missing these kind of features in Irrlicht.

its usefull, but idk why did you spread that small code into 10 files? Its bit harder to understand it now but im sure that ill use it in my game

Or you could just use an cfg or ini reader for attributes and then drop and restart the device manually.

this code is kind of more then one needs imo the only thing it offers really is the error handling. but what does that take really? a user restart > waste of resource.

Good job. I suppose.

@Malgodur: It's in a bunch of files because it's meant for a large-scale application, and that's generally how I start out. But yeah, that style's not for everybody.

And you're right, Midnight - for most applications a config file would work fine. I had to make an application with two windows that could go fullscreen independently at runtime though.
It would be much more useful if it did things like the window sizes being automatically loaded with the available resolutions and could select the most appropriate driver, etc.

It's down. Could someone reup or post this?
