how to hide taskbars so it doesn't flickering thru gapi

[Guest muff]

an example piece of code to help people out

// to hide taskbar(s) - use after creating the game window or when restoring a minimised app


	 TaskbarShow( false );


// to allow taskbar(s) to be seen again - use when minimising or exitting the app


	  TaskbarShow( true );



// this function hides and shows the taskbars on the system

// historically this was here to stop the flickers of the icons on the top taskbar

// that we were getting on the first smartphones

// I'm not 100% sure that it's necessary on newer devices


void TaskbarShow( bool show )

{

	RECT rc;

	::GetWindowRect(hWnd, &rc );


	HWND hWndTB = ::FindWindow(_T("HHTaskbar"), NULL);

	if (hWndTB == NULL)

	{

		hWndTB = ::FindWindow(_T("Tray"), NULL);

	}


	if (show)

	{

		::ShowWindow( hWndTB, SW_SHOW );	

		::SHFullScreen( 0, SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON | SHFS_SHOWTASKBAR | SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON);

	}

	else

	{

		::SHFullScreen( hWndTB, SHFS_HIDESTARTICON | SHFS_HIDETASKBAR | SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON);

		::ShowWindow( hWndTB, SW_HIDE );

	}

}[/code]



hope that helps
