Hello,

How to open any video file on full screen mode using c# .net?

I am using this code for play video but my video is not starting on full screen mode.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            
            Process.Start(@"c:\\abc.avi"); 
        }

How can we open in full screen mode by default.
Please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Since you are using Process class, this code will run the the media player program that user has associated with AVI files. Media players will have different flags to start in fullscreen mode and that is something you will need to live with.

You can however open the maximized window using Process.StartInfo.WindowStyle property. This is not same as full screen though.

Unless you run a specific media player to play the files, there is very little you could do here. You did mentioned Windows Media Player in the comment but there is no guarantee if this code will run it. If user has, say, VLC player on the system and it is associated with AVI file extension, your code will run VLC player and not WMP.
