I have seen other web apps going full screen on a windows computer and I see some have asked here as well.
Just wondering if anyone have found a solution.

I found this code, but I don't know where to place it in EWB or the generated HTML or JS file.

<script>
document.body.requestFullscreen();
</script>

You can add this to external function.

Basically create a js file with following content

function DoFullScreen()
{
   document.body.requestFullscreen();
}

Add this file as external file to the project

and then in your main form unti for example declare external function

external procedure DoFullScreen;

and then you can call this - for example from button handler or FormShow
event or such.

Note that it does not work for Edge and in IE appears to have a vendor
prefix :

Thanks Raul,

I had a hard time to get it to work I was missing one step.

I had to add the js file to Project, External Files.

Yes that is a needed step.  it allows EWB to actually know about the
external file and load it so the function becomes available

I thought this would be a great feature for iOS.  Unless I'm doing something wrong, its not working for me (Safari or Chrome).
