MDI Parent

[Cassio]

Hi! I have a MDI Parent form. When I set its WindowState property to maxmized it covers the WindowsXP taskbar. I wanna be able to use the taskbar while the form is openned but the form fill all the screen.

Thanks.

I can't duplicate this unless I change my taskbar to NOT stay on top. Can you show us the code you're using?

I dont think I made my self clear. This MDI Parent form (when set to maximized) fills all the Windows screen and I cant see the WindowsXP taskbar (the one that has the Start button and the system tray). But when I use a normal form maximized its just normal and I can see the taskbar.

Sorry if Im lost here, my english is very poor.

Nerseus is saying that ONLY if the taskbar autohide property is true, does the form take up the whole screen.

Is your autohide property true or false?

Does your taskbar pop up when your mouse moves to the bottom of the screen?

Hi Cywizz.
No its not set to autohide. Its always there. And It only happens with this particular form.
And it doesnt pop up when I move the mouse at the bottom of the screen.

post the section under the 'Windows Form Designer generated code' region. (If it's not to long) If it's only this form, them some sort of property is set. Also, if you can, post the form_Load event's code (If you got any)

To repeat, is the "stay on top" feature of your task bar on or off?

 

[Cassio]
