My app ignores Alt-Tab when I set exclusive mode. The DirectX docs say
Alt-Tab should still work. I imagine it has something to do with the
Application window setup by C++ Builder.

Anybody know what's up?

Scott,

You need to tell the DirectDraw interface to allow the alt-tab switching by
setting the DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT flag using SetCooperativeLevel().

EX:
  lpDD->SetCooperativeLevel (Handle, DDSCL_FULLSCREEN | DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE |
DDSCL_ALLOWREBOOT);

Hope this helps.

Ralph
