How to extend the Client Area to Fullscreen?(win32 api)

[toptony]

I wrote a game with win32 api,and I want to run it in fullscreen.

I had tried as this way: setting the window area to fullscreen, then using GetWindowDC() to draw the whole window.But the input of mouse is just in the client area,no the whole window area. So I want to get help:

How to extend the client area to fullscreen? just win32 api,not MFC.

And which kind style should I set for fullscreen?WS_BORDER,OVERLAPPED,OVERLAPPEDWINDOW or others?

thanks!

It's a Win16-Win32 FAQ since 1992 ...
You can ask on Specialized Win32 api newsgroup :
news://nntp.aioe.org/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
for various methods (C/Win32)

I donot know with coding but for C++ console applications, you can goto properties and change it from there.
It might work in ths case as well.
