Running Irrlicht device in Fullscreen (i.e. glGameMode)

Hi, Irrlicht is just "irre". It's a great engine... but how do you run Irrlicht in full screen mode? Like the glGameMode or the glFullscreen() function??

there's a boolean in the
createDevice function where you can request fullscreen mode (true) or windowed mode (false)
please consult irrlicht.h for further details.

createDevice(EDT_MODE, dimension2d<s32>(resX, resY), fullscreen, stencil, vsync, receiver)

EDT_MODE = render device (EDT_SOFTWARE, EDT_DIRECTX8, EDT_DIRECTX9, EDT_OPENGL or EDT_NULL)
resX = X resolution (1024 for example)
resY = Y resolution (768 for example)
fullscreen = fullscreen (true) or not (false)
stencil = stencil shadows (true) or not (false)
vsync = vertical synchronisation of the frames (true) or not (false)
receiver = irrlicht receiver or 0
stencil shadows are dynamic shadows that clip around edges etc.
btw: you could also have looked in the irrlicht API documentation, there is every command listed ...

The API is your friend, use it wisely
It's a really good document to look for answers once you know how it's laid out. As tempting as it is just to ask you can always have a crack at finding it yourself in there. We'll still be around to help if you can't find what you were looking for.

Hi !
Is it possible to change the refresh rate when using the OpenGL renderer ?
I would like to pass form 60 (default) to 85 Hz, with OpenGL.

thats a windows xp bug, if you have an nvidia card you can bypass that in the driver settings
