Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 95647
Allow to start presentation in fullscreen and window modes from ActiveX control.

We need a way to allow user to start presentation in ActiveX control in fullscreen and windows mode from the ActiveX control session. The current idea is to show two buttons ( fullscreen slide show, browser window slide show ) in ActiveX control toolbar instead of current "start slide show" button, that starts it in preconfigured mode. The F5 key will start slide-show in browser window. Additionally, opening of a presentation in ActiveX control will let it be started immediately in browser window. If I am not wrong, the additional result of the discussion was that it would be nice to have an additional button to allow to access the general settings of the slide-show.

Adjust target.
As we have on the last meeting discussed, it looks like we do not need to allow to start presentation in full-screen mode from ActiveX control. As it was mentioned, such a behavior is recognized as wrong one, any browser plugin that tries to open full-screen window actually breaks the design. The designed behavior is that plugin always uses the browser window, and the user can use the kiosk-mode to have it full-screen. Thus it looks like the feature is not really a desired one and can probably be closed.
Branch-date (feature- and code-freeze) for OOo 3.2 is nearly done. Therefore I change the target of this issue to OOo 3.x. If you think it is a stopper for OOo 3.2 please change the target back.
