Maximize form problem->bottom hidden by start bar

Hi

When I maximize a form in VB.Net 2003 the bottom of the form gets
hidden
by the start bar (so my status bar is invisible). How can I get my app
to maximize to the usable screen area above the start bar?

Thx Mrozu

Perhaps the easiest thing would be to set your task bar to auto hide.

How are you maximizing the form? By pressing the window maximize
button, or in code? If the latter, show us your code.

OK, time for a little experiment: Start VS 2003, new VB WinForms
project. Put a StatusBar on the form. Run the project; maximize the
window. Does this maximize correctly? If yes, the issue is with your
form. If no, the issue is with your Windows settings in some way.

Hello. I have a narrow form which is fixed, and the menu fits fine with MS Sans Serif 8. However, if the user selects a larger font size, then the form shoves a few controls past the bottom edge of the form. The menuheight property does not help, as it refers to ONE line's height. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot. I'm using VB.Net.

Hi All, I will start working on a form soon which runs as an mdi container (in the main screen) However there is this "new" requirement, there will be 4 screens, and one of the features of the program is to open child forms (not within the mdi container) but in a totally different screen (as in a second one, not the primary one). Now it is going to be a quad screen system. not even 2. I wrote a small snippet Form frm1 = new Form(); ...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
