Add utility function void ChangeWindowFullMonitorWorkArea() like void…

[Robxley]

Add a utility function ChangeWindowFullMonitorWorkArea() to resize the window with the monitor work area.
This new function works like ChangeWindowSize(...).

Hi @Robxley

Many thanks for the PR, this is a good idea!

I'm a bit sensitive to naming. Could you change the name to something like WindowUseFullMonitorWorkArea (or you may propose another name inspired from this).

By the way, could you give me more info about the context in which you are using Hello ImGui.

Thanks!

Hi @pthom,

Thank you for your quick response 😁.
I completely agree with your naming suggestion; after all, it's your project 😊. WindowUseFullMonitorWorkArea is indeed more explicit.

Regarding your question about how I use Hello ImGui: I’ve been working with ImGui for a long time, especially in computer vision projects.
In my personal projects, I enjoy developing 3D/2D engines as a hobby (often for no particularly useful purpose 😋), and ImGui has always been my go-to tool for creating user interfaces for these wonderfully useless projects !

In my professional role as a computer vision engineer, I often need to track and display video and image processing results from existing production pipelines. ImGui is very convenient in these contexts, particularly because it is easy to use across different platforms and integrates seamlessly with existing computer vision production engines.

I recently discovered Hello ImGui, and it perfectly addresses the needs of creating cross-platform applications without any pain. I wouldn’t have had the time (and your expertise) to achieve such an integration on my own.

Thanks to your great work, Hello ImGui is straightforward to use and makes it very simple to set up a new app.

Why reinvent an (probably unstable) wheel ... 😁
And if I can contribute occasionally with some humble new features, I’d be happy to help!

Have a good day.

Hi again,

I may have answered too quickly regarding the function name.

In your code, the function for resizing is named ChangeWindowSize. To keep the syntax consistent (action + description), perhaps UseWindowFullMonitorWorkArea would be a better fit than WindowUseFullMonitorWorkArea.

What do you think?

Perfect! Can you please push a modified version?

You might be interested in ImmVision, which I also developed, and which is part of ImGui Bundle.

See demo, and click on the ImmVision tab:

Merged, thanks a lot.

PS: I was a computer vision engineer in a previous life.

Thank you for the tips about ImmVision.
When I came across hello_imgui, I also explored your GitHub. 😄
I’ve seen ImmVision—it looks very interesting, similar to the Image Watch extension for Visual Studio but with more tools.
I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but maybe someday! 😊
