GuiAviBitmapCtrl DirectShow Full screen problem.

Hi Guys.

I need help on making the GuiAviBitmapCtrl DirectShow version (http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=7826) be able to work properly on full screen.

First of all, has anyone ever been successful on making this to work on full screen?

By default, the gui control works properly on Windowed mode. However, when I switch to full screen, the video does not appear.

I investigated a little and found in MSDN about the IVideoWindow::put_FullScreenMode() method. Using that, I have been able to have full screen mode of the video only when my Torque window is NOT in fullscreen mode in the background.

But, I really need everything to be in full screen! Doing so, I only came across numerous problems whenever both Torque and the Directshow (via put_FullScreenMode()) are set as fullscreen mode -- BSOD!!!

So I did a little hack. I just made a point that before I start the movie, I set Torque to be not full screen and then set Directshow to full screen. And when the movie ends, close directshow and set Torque to full screen. However, when my game will go back to this sequence, the time Torque is set to full screen my keys or events are no longer accepted, EC_COMPLETE is also seem to be not notified.

What do you think am I missing?

Here my codes. Mark/enclosed by AOV remarks are my modifications.
In GuiAviBitmapCtrl constructor AND in InitDirectShow function:

mWindow = FindWindow( L"Darkstar Window Class", NULL); // AOV 070312

S32 GuiAviBitmapCtrl::movieClose()
{
   movieStop();
   if (g_pVideoWindow)
   {
       g_pVideoWindow->put_Owner(NULL);
       g_pVideoWindow->put_Visible(OAFALSE);
       //if(GetForegroundWindow() != mWindow)
       //    SetForegroundWindow(mWindow); //Eric 
   }

   // notify the script that the movie was closed
   //+ AOV 070313
   Con::executef( this, 1, "onMovieClosed" );
   Point2I pSize = Parent::getExtent();
   char* cmd = Con::getReturnBuffer( 100 );
   dSprintf( cmd, 100, "setScreenMode( %d, %d, %d, %d );",
       pSize.x, pSize.y, 32, true );
   Con::errorf(cmd);
   Con::evaluatef( cmd );
   //- AOV 070313

   return MOVERR_OK;
}


S32 GuiAviBitmapCtrl::movieStart()
{
// TDD - Added DirectShow check for starting the movie
#if USE_DIRECTSHOW
   // start playing the movie
	// This does not currently handle stop/resume

	// find out the position and size of our control
	Point2I pPos = Parent::getPosition();
	Point2I pSize = Parent::getExtent();

	g_pVideoWindow->put_AutoShow(OAFALSE);
    g_pVideoWindow->put_Owner((OAHWND)mWindow);
	g_pVideoWindow->put_WindowStyle(WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN);
	g_pVideoWindow->put_MessageDrain((OAHWND)mWindow);
	g_pVideoWindow->SetWindowPosition(pPos.x, pPos.y, pSize.x, pSize.y);
	g_pVideoWindow->put_Visible(OATRUE);
	g_pVideoWindow->SetWindowForeground(-1);
    //+ AOV 070313
    Con::errorf("movieStart: setting non-fullscreen");
    char* cmd = Con::getReturnBuffer( 100 );
    dSprintf( cmd, 100, "setScreenMode( %d, %d, %d, %d );", pSize.x, pSize.y, 32, false );
    Con::evaluatef( cmd );

    if( mFullScreen )
    {
        if( g_pVideoWindow->put_FullScreenMode(OATRUE) != S_OK )
        {
            Con::printf( "Movie full screen mode failed." );
        }
    }
    Con::executef(this, 1, "onMovieBegin");
    //- AOV 070313
	g_pMediaControl->Run();
    

   return MOVERR_OK;
#endif
   return MOVERR_NOVIDEOSTREAM;
// ---------------
}

Better yet, what's the better implementation? I'm a noob to DirectShow but I'm trying hard to fix this. I really just need assistance this time.
