No, please don't do that! If you want to play video, add a "full screen" option to a right click context menu of your plugin window, and then just create a separate full screen window with option "always on top".

You may leave lister window visible because full screen form will be shown over it.

Opening it immediately could be very annoying, especially when you use Ctrl+Q and go from file to file. At least make it configurable, and easily closeable (e.g. via ESC key).

but how to do that?

I know Imagine can be configured so that full screen is possible. i want full screen on slister when opening pdf files.etc. when using internal lister (such as .txt files), the toolbar is quite distracting and annoying, menu is not that distracting. how to get the toolbar disappeared?

Just use Windows function CreateWindow to create a new separate window, and make that full screen.
