Form settings

Hi

What settings do I need so my main form touches the task bar but dope snot
go over it. This is just like other applications do. Also, what happens on
windows xp where a window's borders are thicker than on windows 2000?

Thanks

Regards

Hi John,
Before I answer, it looks if you are using Docking, is that true?

No, just a simple normal form. I set its size to 800x600 but of course it
covers the toolbar at 800x600. I can make it smaller but then how would it
position itself to be above the task bar and not in the dead centre of
screen thus covering part of the task bar. Pretty dumb issues. sorry.
