Full screen Form

[4Space]

Hi, anyone know how to make a Form full screen?? I'm almost there, I just
wondered if there's any way to have my form over the taskbar.

Actually, this isn't a .NET issue. I can get full screen on another machine,
so it looks like a driver issue. How sad.

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

If you're writing an app which will be used by anyone else, then seriously,
I wouldn't recommend you do this. I've come across a couple of programs in
the past which have covered my taskbar and they were VERY quickly
uninstalled again... You should not try to override a users OS settings,
it's impolite! :)

Thanks Lorne :) But this will be a dedicated machine in an engineering
environment, possibly even with a touch screen. It will be full screen,
alt-tab and ctrl-alt-del (etc.) will also be disabled.

Ah, that explains a lot then :)

Forgot to add something... It should help you... the following code segment
from VB6 does what you are looking for using API calls... Should be easy to
translate but it will be unmanaged code....

///
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal
lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long,
ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Private TaskBar As Long

TaskBar = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", vbNullString)
ShowWindow TaskBar, 0
\\\

This will hide the taskbar for you... Call 'ShowWindow TaskBar, 4' to reshow
it...
