Hi guys,
I am creating an application in the VB.NET (VS2003). I want the form to be
maximized all the time. I set the windowState to "Maximized" and I disabled
the Maximize button.
When I run the program, the main form covers the taskbar. however, if I
enable the Maximize button (the rest of the code and the properties are the
same), it fits nice just above the taskbar.
anyone hear about this before?

The work around I found is to set the maximizebox to false in the load event

Ahmed,
I can not simulate your problem, did you do it with a complete new project?

Can you post your taskbar settings (auto-hiding, always in the foreground,
....)?

Yes,
Create new project
add a status bar to the form
set the windowstate to maximized
set the maximizebox to false
run the application
This time I had the taskbar covering the status bar.
next
try enabling the maximizebox. it will fit nice and the statusbar will be
just above the taskbar

Ahmed,
I still see the statusbar, not that I don't believe you however I cannot
simulate it).
What Net version are you using?
Cor

Also try minimizing the form then restore it after you run it.

Same settings (Windows XP Professional SP2, German), but I am not able to
repro that. In other words, the form does not cover the taskbar when its
window state is set to maximized and the maximize button is disabled.

Ahmed,
I did, do you as well have all SP's loaded especially the Net 1.1 one? http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...tent11sp1.aspx
I think I cannot help you anymore because I don't have the behaviour
although I tried it with a new project exactly as you did.
Sorry
Cor
Thanks Cor, I appreciate it. I am not sure if have all the updates. I will
try doing the updates and then check

Cor,
This appears to be a bug in Windows 2000. I have seen non-.NET software do
this same thing with no discernable pattern. Sometimes the bottom of a
Maximized application window sits behind the task bar, sometimes in front,
and occasionally, correctly on top of it. To reproduce, set your task bar
to "Always on Top". I don't know if XP and 2003 exhibit the same behavior.
