Close FullScreen with MouseMove Event (video)

[ColdandUgly]

Seems like this should be easy enough.

Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove
        If boolFull = True Then
            Try
                mobjVideo.Fullscreen = False
                boolFull = False
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox(ex.ToString)
            End Try
        End If
    End Sub

But this doesnt work...

When you say

doesnt work

could you give a little more detail as to what you are expecing to happen.
If you step through in the debbuger is boolFull = true?

Re:

Sorry.

Doesnt work means it doesnt leave fullscreen mode.
I was unable to check mobjVideo.Fullscreen as Boolean
So to determine if the video was playing at full screen I set a boolean variable.

Private Sub cmdFull_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdFull.Click
        Try
            mobjVideo.Fullscreen = True
            boolFull = True
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
        Debug.Write(boolFull)
    End Sub

The debug log shows
false
fasle
false
false
false
true <- set full screen
false <- subsequently moved the mouse

boolFull is declared in the General declarations as boolean.
And looks like it holds its value.
I am geissing the following false is because I moved the mouse in full screen mode.

But DX didnt return the window to normal view.

Um, I just realized there was a (sub) forum for DirectX inside this forum. This post should be moved.

The simple reason is that once your in full screen, you cant writ back to the video object. (At least, thats what im told)

Check this article on the video obect, and what to do in your case:
