Form Max Size question

[Charles Faramarzirad]

Hi Guys;
I'm trying to figure out how to do a winform max size (where it goes over the taskbar on your desktop) similiar to the bookstore kiost sample demo application..

any help would be appreciated.  I can't seem to find any documentation on this.

cheers
Charles

Hello Charles Faramarzirad,

In order to get the desired behavior, you should set the FormBorderStyle property of the form to None:

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Hi ;
Your code, "did not" do the trick.  it simply maximizes the form, it doesn't cover the task bar .

here is my code, it's a basic form code.

namespace

WindowsFormsApplication1

 

{

 

partial class Form1

 

{

 

/// <summary>

 

 

/// Required designer variable.

 

 

/// </summary>

 

 

private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

 

 

/// <summary>

 

 

/// Clean up any resources being used.

 

 

/// </summary>

 

 

/// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>

 

 

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

 

{

 

if (disposing && (components != null))

 

{

components.Dispose();

}

 

base.Dispose(disposing);

 

}

#region

Windows Form Designer generated code

 

 

/// <summary>

 

 

/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify

 

 

/// the contents of this method with the code editor.

 

 

/// </summary>

 

 

private void InitializeComponent()

 

{

 

this.radThemeManager1 = new Telerik.WinControls.RadThemeManager();

 

 

this.radThemeManager2 = new Telerik.WinControls.RadThemeManager();

 

 

this.vistaTheme1 = new Telerik.WinControls.Themes.VistaTheme();

 

 

this.telerikTheme1 = new Telerik.WinControls.Themes.TelerikTheme();

 

((System.ComponentModel.

ISupportInitialize)(this)).BeginInit();

 

 

this.SuspendLayout();

 

 

//

 

 

// Form1

 

 

//

 

 

this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);

 

 

this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;

 

 

this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(298, 266);

 

 

this.Name = "Form1";

 

 

//

 

 

//

 

 

//

 

 

this.RootElement.ShouldPaint = true;

 

 

this.Text = "Form1";

 

 

this.ThemeName = "Telerik";

 

 

this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);

 

((System.ComponentModel.

ISupportInitialize)(this)).EndInit();

 

 

this.ResumeLayout(false);

 

 

this.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;

 

}

#endregion

 

private Telerik.WinControls.RadThemeManager radThemeManager1;

 

 

private Telerik.WinControls.RadThemeManager radThemeManager2;

 

 

private Telerik.WinControls.Themes.VistaTheme vistaTheme1;

 

 

private Telerik.WinControls.Themes.TelerikTheme telerikTheme1;

 

}

}

please advise.
thanks
Charles

Hello Charles Faramarzirad,

Please note that in the Bookstore Kiosk demo we are using a standard Microsoft Form.  However, I can notice from your code that you are using RadForm. RadForm does not support full coverage of the screen area, so I would suggest using the regular form with FormBorderStyle to None and RadTitleBar.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Best wishes,
