Hi all,

I have set my form windows state to be maximize when I run the program. But how come it maximize until the bottom of the screen? It should be maximized on top of taskbar.. I mean if my screen resolution is 1024x768 the form should not maximize to its height of 768 because there is taskbar. It should maximize the height to 758 for example. How to do this?

Solution 2

this.MaximumSize = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size;

I'm not sue, but give it a try. :)

Solution 1

Try:

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Top = 0;
            this.Left = 0;


            this.Size = new Size(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - 10);
        }

I conclude both of jerrykid and krunal answer and got the screen that I want.
For jerry: I can't do the "Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - value" because running on Vista or XP or 7 or 8 will give a differ height

For Krunal, I do as your suggestion, it fill the whole area that I want :) but it not start as centerscreen event I set it on StartPosition. So I combine both of your answer as below;

Me.Size = New Size(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size.Height) and all good. Thanks to both of you..
