If you're actually letting the user choose or set preferences, one solution
could be to use a projectorName.ini file. You'd need to start with an .ini
file with the same name as your projector, and it'd need to contain at least
the following text:
[Settings]
FullScreen=0
This will start your projector the first time in WINDOW mode. Then, when
your user wants to change modes, the following could happen:
1) user clicks "I want FULLSCREEN mode"
2) the app uses BudAPI to change the .ini value to FullScreen=1
3) the app pops a dialog that says "Ok, restart now? (Y,N)
4) next time the app starts, it'll be in whatever mode they chose
That'd be a quick & easy way to let you get away with one projector.
Another way would be to run your app in MIAWs, then depending on whether the
user wanted WINDOW or FULLSCREEN mode, set (the stage).rect to either
rect(0,0,1,1) or the desktopRectList[1].
Hope this is useful,
