qb64.exe - automatically open to full screen

Post by davey »

Is there an equivalent of a SETUP or .INI file where I can set qb64.exe to open in full-screen?

Right now it opens in a window with the right side off the screen, so I have to move the window then Maximize it. I know you can use ALT-ENTER, but there must be a way to do it automatically. And ALT-ENTER hides the Minimize, Maximize, and Close icons at the top right. So I prefer to move it then Maximize it, to leave these icons visible (and useable).

(NOTE: I do not mean the _FULLSCREEN command in a BASIC program. That works fine. I mean the qb64.exe screen itself.)

This is not urgent. It is only an inconvenience, but I am sure there must be a simple solution for it.

Thank you.

Re: qb64.exe - Use Alt + Enter

Use that after the IDE opens up.

There is no internal setting. Maybe a BAT file? You can also use BAT files to compile with Open With too.
