I´ve got a form which maximum size is 300x300 pixels.
It can be resized and maximized. The problem:

If the user sets the window state to maximized, the forms location
is set to 0,0. Changing the Location property doesn´t help.

Is it possible to center it on the screen even if maximized?
And if yes, how is it done?

Plz Help Me It's Urgent.

XML

try this code.
<pre lang="Javascript">
function MyPopUpWin() {
var iMyWidth;
var iMyHeight;
//half the screen width minus half the new window width (plus 5 pixel borders).
iMyWidth = (window.screen.width/2) - (75 + 10);
//half the screen height minus half the new window height (plus title and status bars).
iMyHeight = (window.screen.height/2) - (100 + 50);
//Open the window.
var win2 = window.open("filename.htm","Window2","status=no,height=200,width=150,resizable=yes,left=" + iMyWidth + ",top=" + iMyHeight + ",screenX=" + iMyWidth + ",screenY=" + iMyHeight + ",toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,directories=no");
win2.focus();
}</pre>

Hi
You can use from bellow code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(ScreenLen - WinLen, ScreenHeigh - WinHeigh);

You have probably set the MaximumSize property of the form in the designer's property window. In addition the MaximizedBounds property should be set as this can specify both size and location.

MaximizedBounds is not shown in the designer property window, so you may as well move the code that sets both properties into the constructor.

e.g.

C#

private const int MaxFormWidth = 300, MaxFormHeight = 300;

internal Form1() {
  InitializeComponent();

  // Calculate maximized location
  Rectangle screen = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
  Point maximizedLocation = new Point(
    (screen.Width - MaxFormWidth) / 2,
    (screen.Height - MaxFormHeight) / 2);

  this.MaximumSize = new Size(MaxFormWidth, MaxFormHeight);
  this.MaximizedBounds = new Rectangle(maximizedLocation, this.MaximumSize);
}
