如何从C＃桌面应用程序以全屏模式打开默认浏览器？

Question

Hi & thanks for looking!

How do I open default browser in fullscreen mode from a C# desktop application? I have seen similar questions on SO:

How to open in default browser in C#

. . .BUT nothing addresses opening a local HTML file (C: drive) in a FULLSCREEN browser window from C#.

I can open the window using this:

Process.Start("http://google.com");

But how do I make it default to fullscreen? Is there a way to simulate the F11 key press, or even something more direct?

EDIT: Ideally, I will not need to have a form open. I don't want to confuse the issue, but I am experimenting with the Kinect Speech Recognition engine and will have a program running in the system tray, always listening. I already have it to a point that I can say a command and it will. . .

//do stuff

. . .and in this case, I just want it to open the default browser in fullscreen mode.

So, I don't have to be able to toggle back and forth between fullscreen and regular screen, just launch in fullscreen. I was thinking that a simulation of the F11 press would be the answer, but it sounds like I need a form open for this??

Thanks!

Answer 1

For that you would need to use sendkeys

Looking at the list you need something like:

ActiveForm.SendKeys("{F11}");

Hope that solves your issue.

Answer 2

wouldn't the SendKeys need to be

ActiveForm.SendKeys.Send("{F11}"); 

instead of

ActiveForm.SendKeys("{F11}");
