This extension provides a solution for the full screen exclusion issue on Windows prior to the 11 version. Windows prior to 11 cannot correctly get an exclusive full screen window, `VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive` is applicable on Windows prior to version 11 platform alone. == Introduction This sample provides a detailed procedure to activate full screen exclusive mode on Windows applications. Users can switch display modes from: 1) windowed, 2) borderless fullscreen, and 3) exclusive fullscreen using keyboard inputs. == *Reminder Configuring the `swapchain create info` using full screen exclusive extension *DOES NOT* automatically set the application window to full screen mode. The following procedure shows how to activate full screen exclusive mode correctly: 1) recreate the `swapchain` using `full screen exclusive`. 2) recreate the `frame buffers` with the new `swapchain`. 3) configure the application window to *fullscreen mode* 4) execute the `acquire full screen exclusive EXT` call. * More details can be found in the link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-monitorfromwindow[MonitorFromWindow function (winuser.h)]
