Full screen Form

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.

Cheers,

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.FormBorder Style = FormBorderStyle .None;
this.WindowStat e = 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.

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 "FindWindow A" (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("She ll_TrayWnd", vbNullString)
ShowWindow TaskBar, 0
\\\

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

hi,all We are going to develop a program and when it is running, we need it full screen and also, user can not switch to other place before exit our program. I am thinking, we can make a window full screen, but how to avoid user switching to other program or windows? And also, there are many hot keys, how to capture or disable these things? Thanks

Hi, How can we run the app on full-screen. I mean all the controls such as, text boxes, data grids on the form would also be resized or re-located automatically when we press maximize button on the top right corner of the form. Currently, when I maximize the form.. controls on the form are not relocating. How can we do this..

I'm developing a POS application and am looking into ways of making it a full screen application. I found that I can use Direct3D. Is this the usual way of implementing a full screen windows application? Are there other better or industry practices in doing this? Any resources on this topic with C#? -- Anson

good day everyone, i'm writing an app in which i would like to implement full-screen capability. i would like to know if there is a way of getting a program to cover the whole screen, such as in M$ word or in internet explorer. the only reason why i mention ie and word is because they use some kind of an API method to handle full sreen. I know there is an easier way by maximizing the form window and setting it

Im writting an app that uses full screen forms ( borderless ) and I find that when I go from one form to another the contents of the forms are getting render together , as in you can see part of screen 1 on screen 2 for a short period.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
