Cassio Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 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. Quote Stream of Consciousness (My blog)
*Experts* Nerseus Posted February 7, 2003 *Experts* Posted February 7, 2003 I can't duplicate this unless I change my taskbar to NOT stay on top. Can you show us the code you're using? -nerseus Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

Cassio Posted February 7, 2003 Author Posted February 7, 2003 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. Quote Stream of Consciousness (My blog)
Cywizz Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Cassio 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? Quote Howzit??
Cassio Posted February 7, 2003 Author Posted February 7, 2003 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. Quote Stream of Consciousness (My blog)
Cywizz Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 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) Quote Howzit??
Cassio Posted February 7, 2003 Author Posted February 7, 2003 Ok, thanks Cywizz. Ill post it, but this app is at home and Ill only be back home on monday. c ya Quote Stream of Consciousness (My blog)
Moderators Robby Posted February 7, 2003 Moderators Posted February 7, 2003 To repeat, is the "stay on top" feature of your task bar on or off? Quote Visit...Bassic Software
