So far, I have a command that makes my window fullscreen. Now, predictably, I want to be able to exit fullscreen also.
This is the code I have:
def toggFullscreen(self, win):
def exitFullscreen(event=None):
win.withdraw()
win.deiconify()
win.overrideredirect(False)
win.geometry('1024x700')
w = win.winfo_screenwidth()
h = win.winfo_screenheight()
win.overrideredirect(True)
win.geometry('%dx%d+0+0' % (w, h))
win.focus_set()
win.bind('<Escape>', exitFullscreen)
But the issue is that I can't get the window frame to reappear. I thought that doing win.overrideredirect(False)
would work, but it didnt.
not sure why it isn't working on your computer, but try this code sample:
#!python3
import tkinter as tk
geom=""
def fullscreen():
global geom
geom = root.geometry()
w = root.winfo_screenwidth()
h = root.winfo_screenheight()
root.overrideredirect(True)
root.geometry('%dx%d+0+0' % (w, h))
def exitfullscreen():
global geom
root.overrideredirect(False)
root.geometry(geom)
root = tk.Tk()
tk.Button(root,text ="Fullscreen", command=fullscreen).pack()
tk.Button(root,text ="Normal", command=exitfullscreen).pack()
root.mainloop()
the one thing i'm making sure i do is to store the geometry before going fullscreen, and then re applying it when i exit fullscreen. the global statement was needed because if i didn't use it the fullscreen
function stored the geometry in a local variable instead of the one i created at the top.
Change the overrideredirect
flag before calling withdraw
and deiconify
.
