Okay so set the width to be the screen width. What is the issue?

About the topmost, is it WPF or WinForms?

You can specify how your controls grow to fill a form using their properties. If that's not good enough, you need to write code to position your controls. You can specify a min and max height property for the form, which, if they are the same, will stop people resizing the form.

This code should do the trick:

VB

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Me.Location = New Point(0, 0)
    Me.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width
End Sub
