Start a VM in fullscreen mode through API
Start a VM in fullscreen mode through API
Is it possible to start a VM in fullscreen mode using the API? I am using the Python COM API.

Re: Start a VM in fullscreen mode through API
AFAIK it is not possible. Fullscreen is the responsability of the frontend, which is using the API, but is not accessible from the API.
On the other hand, you can hint at screen resolution and configure the front-end to start in a specific mode, even tho I don't have the details at hands right now. I believe the option is given in the user manual.
For the resolution int, see IDisplay::setVideoModeHint()
Not dealing much with the GUI side of things, I could be wrong, in which case I'll let someone who knowns better correct me

Thank you! I'm going to try sending the hostkey+f through win32com to the VirtualBox window.
