Maximized RadWindow

[Davide]

Hi, 
I'm using a RadWindow as Mainwindow for my project.
I wanted to know if it is possible to send the window to fullscreen covering the window taskbar and occuping the all monitor area 

Thx in advance

Hello Davide,

You can achieve that only by setting a few properties of the control:

IsTopmost="True"
IsRestricted="True"
ResizeMode="NoResize"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
WindowState="Normal"

and the needed size in the code behind:

this.Width = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth;
this.Height = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight;

However please not you would also need to modify the Template of the control a little bit to remove the dropping shadow for example. I have attached a sample project demonstrating the exact scenario, compared with the regular WPF Window. 

Hope this helps.

Hi Kalin ...

i tried your example but it is not what i was looking for :-(
The problem is that my MainWindow is a RadWindow, this must be resizable and when you press the maximize icon at the top right of the radwindow I would like it to expand in the current screen and go over the taskbar

Thx

Hi Davide,

I'm afraid that the desired scenario is not supported from RadWindow. However I can suggest you a possible solution - you can add a fake maximize button in the header of the Window, that will execute the logic demonstrated in the attached sample project. You would need to keep the last size and position before the button was pressed, so whenever is pressed again to restore the Window to the needed location. You would also need to remove the very outer margin of the Window when maximizing - this can be done using the following snippet:

var outerBorder = this.Template.FindName("WindowOuterBorder", this) as Border;
outerBorder.Margin = new Thickness(0);

Hope this will help you to achieve the desired.
