Sorted it using isZoomed. Like you said, it checks the status rather than detecting the event itself.

Extern "win32"
        Function IsZoomed%(hWnd%) = "IsZoomed@4"
        Function GetActiveWindow%()
End Extern

Then...

	Function update:Object( id,Data:Object,context:Object )
		PollEvent()
		Select CurrentEvent.id
		Case EVENT_MOUSELEAVE,EVENT_APPSUSPEND
			gamestats.display.mouseInWindow = False
		Case EVENT_MOUSEENTER,EVENT_APPRESUME
			gameStats.display.mouseInWindow = True
		End Select
		
		'check for maximised window
		If isZoomed(getActiveWindow())
			If gameStats.display.depth = 0
				gameStats.display.depth = 32
				gameStats.display.fullScreen = True
				gui.changeGraphicsMode()
				scaling = New tScaling
			EndIf
		EndIf
	End Function

Obviously this won't run 'as is' cos its out of my game (this function is added as a flip hook), but you get the idea.

Interested if anybody has a better way...
