I would do this. Put a label on your form and test this
Dim screen as System.Windows.Forms.Screen =
System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.
Label1.Text = screen.WorkingArea.ToString
This will retrun the working area of the screen. You should be able to make
all you decisions off of this. If the task bar is viewable and a normal
height, this will take that into account. For example, if the screen is
1024x768 and the taskbar is at its normal settings, this line will return
1024x740. If the taskbar is hidden it will return 1024x768. If its strechedm
it will adjust and return the results I think you are looking for.
I hope this helps,

Hi,
I'm building an application in VB.NET that can only be started if the
available desktop space is sufficient. This means that when the user starts
the application it has to check 2 things:
1. Does the screen resolution comply to the minimum resolution?
2. What's the height of the taskbar?
Does anyone know how to do this?
