Display os x window full screen on secondary monitor using Cocoa

I'm working on a Cocoa Mac app where I need to display a window/view on a secondary monitor, full-screen. I know how to create a window that could be dragged onto the secondary monitor, but I was wanting to programatically create the window and make it full screen on the external monitor. Thanks for the help.

From stackoverflow

• First, determine which screen you want to use by iterating over [NSScreen screens].

  Create a full screen window with:

  NSScreen *screen = /* from [NSScreen screens] */
  NSRect screenRect = [screen frame];
  NSWindow *window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:screenRect
      styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
      backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
      defer:NO
      screen:screen];
  [window setLevel: CGShieldingWindowLevel()];
  

  You might want to google CGDisplayCapture() as well.

  Austin : Thank you, that worked great. Since I was trying to output to the secondary screen I just used [window setLevel: NSStatusWindowLevel];

• You can call the enterFullScreenMode:withOptions: method of NSView to acheieve the desired behaviour.

  See Apple's documentation.

  Read here and here for the options that can be supplied to this method.

  You can use [NSScreen screens] to get the list of available screens. See here for details.

  Austin : Thank you for the help. For what I was trying to do I think the first solution is going to work best for me, but I'll have to keep that View full screen method in mind.
