VM Fullscreen, no Dock or Finder Bar, Mouse Integr. enabled

[luxcop]

Hi,
After searching for a long time on the web and reading many posts, I finally decided to post my problem on this forum:

Currently I'm implementing VirtualBox in a school where we use some ActiveBoards. The ActiveBoard software is installed
on the Host MAC OS x and works fine in the Windows XP VM, only if Mouse Integration is enabled!

But when Mouse Integration is enabled, the VirtualBox VM Bar (Finder) appears when the mouse moves to the top of the
screen.
So I did a little bit of research myself and I found the interesting property LSUIPresentationMode. Setting this property to
3, should remove the Dock and Finder Bar.
I tested it with the terminal.app and it worked great!
But with VirtualBox there is a strange behavior:

- Setting the property to 3 for the VirtualBox UI in /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/Info.plist works fine. When
the VirtualBox UI is active, the Finder Bar and Dock disappears.

- But after setting the property to 3 for the VirtualBox VM in
/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/Resources/VirtualBoxVM.app/Contents/Info.plist, and
/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/Resources/vmstarter.app/Contents/Info.plist,
activating the VM Window (Windows XP) doesn't make the Dock and Finder Bar disappear. Why ?

- Apparently, there is an option from VirtualBox for MACs for enabling the PresentationMode (extradata
GUI/PresentationModeEnabled), but it just works when Mouse Integration is disabled. Because of
the ActiveBoard we cannot disable Mouse Integration...

So my questions are:
How to get the VirtualBox VM running in full screen mode with no Bars and Dock appearing, when mouse integration
is (must be) enabled?
Why does the VirtualBox VM application behave differently from the GUI with LSUIPresentationMode set to 3, in
windowed mode and/or full screen mode?

Hi!

Finally I found the solution myself...
LSUIPresentationMode must be set to 4 in the Info.plist of VirtualBoxVM and I do not start the
VM in FullScreen directly. Fullscreen is activated while Windows is booting with an Applescript
simulating a keypress for HostKey + F.

But a question remains:
What is the purpose of the property PresentationMode (extradata GUI/PresentationModeEnabled) ?


Bye,
