What is the best way to make a Delphi Application completely full screen?

Question

What is the best way to make a delphi application (delphi 2007 for win32 here) go completely full screen, removing the application border and covering windows task bar ?

Answer 1

Hm. Looking at the responses I seem to remember dealing with this about 8 years ago when I coded a game. To make debugging easier, I used the device-context of a normal, Delphi form as the source for a fullscreen display.

The point being, that DirectX is capable of running any device context fullscreen - including the one allocated by your form.

So to give an app "true" fullscreen capabilities, track down a DirectX library for Delphi and it will probably contain what you need out of the box.
