We have a request <https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15314> to allow non-sandboxed
applications to disable the "ESC to exit full screen" overly (and the associated ESC
action to exit Full Screen).
This is needed for "kiosk" style applications where Full Screen should only be
under programmatic control.
I have several options to present, but all of them have an underlying change,
which is the addition of a system property to disable the overlay behavior:
-Djavafx.fullScreenWarning=false
API Option One: Add to Platform, providing for a system toggle that is static.
public static void setFullScreenWarning(boolean warn)
public static boolean getFullScreenWarning()
Note: I considered other options, like Application, but felt they were poor
fits. I am willing to listen to reason though.
API Option Two: Add to Stage. This would be a per instance change, and not a
global toggle:
public void setFullScreenWarning(boolean warn)
public boolean getFullScreenWarning()
API Option Three: don't change the API at this point, rely only on the system
properly to disable the overlay.
Note: option three seems to be a reasonable solution for many of the users of this
functionality, because in a "kiosk" style application you can control the
launching anyway.
