How do I enable fullscreen mode, but the application being still windowed? I need the application to be windowed but occupy the full screen? Also, how do I set the Maximize, Reset buttons of the application?

Are you talking about how to do this generally using the Win32 API--cause you're posting in the "General Technical Issues" forum--or are you talking about a specific product from GG? It would be helpful for you to be clearer about that in posts.

I just assume, you're talking about TGEA. If that's the case, you can't do it without an engine modification (minimize is there, but maximize isn't). Here goes...

Generally speaking, using a WS_MAXIMIZEBOX window style will add the maximize/restore button to the title bar. You'd also need to add WM_SIZE to WindowProc so the rendering canvas can grab the new size, otherwise you'd have a bigger window with the the content in the bottom corner :)

Create a thread in the Private TGE forum and I'll post the code you need.
