    keybd_event can be used to simulate key presses. If you simulate alt+enter, you'll get a full screen.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Bummer.


    Oh wait, were you trying to ask a question? Perhaps "why doesn't this work?" or "how can I fix this error?"... If that's the case then I would recommend actually posting the error itself and not your own summary of the error.

    Code:
