Keeping screen area

What I am trying to do is to have a form/application I am making
reduce the working screen size by its dimensions. What I mean by this
is that when an application is maximized (MS Word for example), it
will stop expanding at the boundaries of my application. A good
example of this is the Taskbar.

Please note that I am not just talking about an "Always on top" form.

Thank you.

I think what you are looking for is called an AppBar and I haven't heard of Windows Forms supporting them, so you're probably going to have to do a lot of PInvoke calls to make this work. Here is an MSDN article that introduces them.

Hope that helps
