how to fullscreen an output from C++?

[deathscith]

ok as usual, i learned turing in compsci at school my teacher doesnt know much of C++ or C so i turn to here for help. i am making a program in C++ i got a series of programs i am writing in, visual C++ 2005 express edition, since its the only one that i installed on this vista based laptop... bleck. i also have dev C++ on another computer, and visual studios enterprise 6. and well in turing we would use a line at the begining being setscreen ("graphics:max;max") View.Set instead of setscreen works too, but for this program i am working on, i want it to be true full screen, not just maximized. anyone care to help?

so what's the graphics engine that you are using? OpenGL? DirectX? something else? (which is likely an abstraction layer for either of the former). That detail is probably important.

riiight graphics engine let me just pull that out... *runs to google* well i got a source to openGL

[deathscith]

well all this program needs to do, is cover the screen and draw a face, laughing, probably going to make the face out of ovals turing style, if possible

[Tony]

well the documentation for setting the screen properties will be right next to the documentation for drawing ovals.

That obviously depends on which library you're using, so that's a good place to start.

care to explain?

C++ doesn't do graphics. Libraries do graphics. Without knowing which of many libraries you are using to do your graphics there is no way for us to help you.

Furthermore most graphics libraries are very well documented - so you assuming you choose one that's fairly mainstream then your question is most easily answered by looking at the documentation.
