Real Fullscreen (hide menu)

[Robert_Zenz]

Hello.

I was looking for a way to put Visual Studio into a real Full-Screen mode, including hiding the menu. I stumbled upon a macro from the bytes.com board, unfortunately it worked for me one time, and one time only. After that I have to reset/reimport all menu settings to make it work again for one more time. There is also a bug report about it over at Microsoft, but it doesn't seem like it will get fixed within some time.

I already tried to change the code, but unfortunately I'm pretty stuck.

My macro:

    ' This is some great stuff written by Tony Liu (in addition to Simonm I think) from the bytes.com board.
    Public Sub ToggleFullScreen()
        DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.FullScreen")

        Dim screen As System.Drawing.Rectangle = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
        Dim cmd As Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.CommandBar = DTE.CommandBars("MenuBar")

        If DTE.MainWindow.Left = screen.Left And DTE.MainWindow.Top = screen.Top And DTE.MainWindow.Width = screen.Width And DTE.MainWindow.Height = screen.Height Then
            ' If in full screen view
            cmd.Protection = Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.MsoBarProtection.msoBarNoProtection
            cmd.Enabled = False
        Else
            ' If not in full screen view
            cmd.Enabled = True
            cmd.Visible = True
            cmd.Protection = Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.MsoBarProtection.msoBarNoMove Or _
            Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.MsoBarProtection.msoBarNoChangeVisible Or _
            Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.MsoBarProtection.msoBarNoChangeDock
        End If
    End Sub

Anybody else has some ideas to accomplish this?

Best Regards,
Bobby
