FullScreen mode from ChildWindow

FullScreen mode from ChildWindow

Hi all, I have a ChildWindow that contains a SMF Media Player. Does anyone knows how to go FullScreen mode from the ChildWindow? When I apply my code only the parent container goes FullScreen but the ChWindow stays the same size. Private Sub SmPlayer_FullScreenChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SmPlayer.FullScreenChanged Dim chw As New SaxgeekVideoChildWindow If chw.SmPlayer.IsFullScreen = True Then SmPlayer.Width = App.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth SmPlayer.Height = App.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight End If chw.Height = 460 chw.Width = 600 End Sub Any idea on how to? And will this be done from the MainPage.xaml.vb or the ChildWindow.xaml.vb? Thanks, Hernan

Hi,

Assume there is nothing in your MainPage, and here is a solution for you:

C# code:

        private void SMFPlayer_FullScreenChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            SMFPlayer p = sender as SMFPlayer;
            // The RootVisual is MainPage, check this out from App.xaml.cs
            MainPage mp = App.Current.RootVisual as MainPage;

            if (p.IsFullScreen == true)
            {
                // Remove the palyer from the Childwindow
                LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(p);
                // Add the player to the MainPage
                mp.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(p);

                // Hide the childwindow
                this.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
            }

            if (p.IsFullScreen == false)
            {
                // Remove the player from the MainPager
                mp.LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(p);
                // Add the player to ChildWindow
                LayoutRoot.Children.Add(p);

                // Show the Childwindow
                this.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
            }
        }

VB code:

    Private Sub SMFPlayer_FullScreenChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim p As SMFPlayer = TryCast(sender, SMFPlayer)
        ' The RootVisual is MainPage, check this out from App.xaml.cs
        Dim mp As MainPage = TryCast(App.Current.RootVisual, MainPage)

        If p.IsFullScreen = True Then
            ' Remove the palyer from the Childwindow
            LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(p)
            ' Add the player to the MainPage
            mp.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(p)

            ' Hide the childwindow
            Me.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed
        End If

        If p.IsFullScreen = False Then
            ' Remove the player from the MainPager
            mp.LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(p)
            ' Add the player to ChildWindow
            LayoutRoot.Children.Add(p)

            ' Show the Childwindow
            Me.Visibility = Visibility.Visible
        End If

    End Sub

If there are other content in your Mainpage, then you can use a container that as below:

I suggest you put the player in MainPage or other UserControl, and use VisualStateManager to hide (Visibility.Collapsed) other elements.
