Any way to get rid of windows file menu in presentation view?
Hi
I'm working on a max patch that is going to be projected for a live performance and I want a way to hide window's file menu (the one with file, edit, etc.) and above it the name of the patch with the max logo, since it would be kind of distracting. So far I can't find anything in either windows settings or max. I've had a play around with the menubar object but my understanding is that can only edit the bar and doesn't have the power to hide it all together? I've also been looking at ways to 'force full-screen' max but it doesn't seem receptive to this either. I wondered if anyone who has had experience using Max during live performance might know any way to do this?
(for clarity: I'm working in Max 8, and I know about CTRL-8, and am not talking about Max's native taskbar; I already have that hidden.)
If anyone has any leads, please let me know!
I believe "hidemenubar" and "showmenubar" max messages are what you need here:
Thanks Rob
I tried this method but I think it might be a MacOs only fix, however googling the message led me to a facebook post mentioning the thispatcher object as a windows alternative to that message, and sending the message 'window notitle' to that object has proved the way to do it, so thankyou in a roundabout way :)
Cheers
aha, nice! i guess the docs need to be updated
