Hello dear fellows,
In the application I'm developping (in Java/swing), I have to show a full screen window on the second screen of the user.
I did this using a code similar to the one you'll find below...
Be, as soon as I click in a window opened by windows explorer, or as soon as I open windows explorer (i'm using windows XP), the full screen window is minimized...
Do you know any way or workaround to fix this problem, or is there something important I did not understand with full screen windows?
Thanks for the help,
