Hi everyone,

I want to build a pd-application in which users can launch the programm by only using the mouse-button (read by MouseState).

The problem is:
They don't see the computerscreen, it is hidden...

How can i make shure, every mousclick gets recognised and not only the ones in the PD canvas?
Is threre a real fullscreen-mode?
How do i prevent users from clicking on the window-frame ore (even worse) on the windows-toolbar?

(Unfortunately i can not lock the mouse position as i use it for deteckting a movement-speed... So when the mouse is clicked the mouse-arrow could be anywhere)

Any ideas?

Thanks and regards, Christopher

Ok, i just found out there is actually a plugin for fullscreen, a file called "fullscreen-plugin.tcl".
I cannot figure out how to install this file.
I put it in the folder programms > pd > extra. But it doesn't seem to work.
Is this because of the wrong path?
Or do i need to open the plugin in the startup-dialog?
But then again: how?
Can someone help?
Best regards, Christopher

If anyone is interested, i still post my efforts on this...
Hopefully, this story will have a happy end

Puredata.info says:
"From Pd 0.43 on, Tcl/Tk plugins can be used to add optional functionality to the GUI. ... Every file that uses the xyz-plugin.tcl naming scheme and resides in the object search path of Pd is executed upon startup."

So what i need to find is the "object search path" and place the .tcl-file there...
Only, when i look at the path window, they only link to .pd or .ddl- files.
Maybe there is another path for these .tcl- files. But where?

Is this really so difficult or am i just dumb?

It depends on your OS:

Yes, i read that too. And i placed the plugin in every of these folders to test it.
Doesn't work so far.

I worked around by making a fullscreen gemwin.
But now MouseState doesn't recognise clicks anymore...

are you shure you are useing Pd 0.43 ?

take a look here:

No, i'm using 0.42.5 on win 7pro...
Would you recommend using the beta?

Thanks for the link, this was what i was looking for.
