Content.IsFullScreen Property

Silverlight

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the Silverlight plug-in is displaying in full-screen mode.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Interop
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
public bool IsFullScreen { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the Silverlight plug-in displays as a full-screen plug-in. false if the Silverlight plug-in displays as an embedded plug-in.

You can set this property only in response to a user-initiated action except in trusted applications. In trusted applications, you can enter full-screen mode in (for example) a Application.Startup or FrameworkElement.Loaded event handler. However, you must do so by setting the IsFullScreen property in a delegate passed to the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke method.

For more information, see Full-Screen Support.

Note Note:

For best performance, when your application goes into full screen, hide or disconnect from the tree all of the objects that are not being rendered in full-screen mode. You can hide an object by setting its Visibility property to Collapsed.

The following code example demonstrates how to use this property.


Page rootPage = new Page();
private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
    this.RootVisual = rootPage;

    rootPage.LayoutRoot.MouseLeftButtonDown +=
        delegate(Object s, MouseButtonEventArgs args) {
            this.Host.Content.IsFullScreen =
                !this.Host.Content.IsFullScreen;
        };

    this.Host.Content.FullScreenChanged += 
        new EventHandler(DisplaySizeInformation);

    this.Host.Content.Resized += 
        new EventHandler(DisplaySizeInformation);
}

private void DisplaySizeInformation(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    String message = String.Format(
        "ActualWidth={0}, ActualHeight={1}",
        this.Host.Content.ActualWidth,
        this.Host.Content.ActualHeight);

    rootPage.LayoutRoot.Children.Clear();
    rootPage.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(
        new TextBlock { Text = message });
}
