Maximized screen ignores taskbar

Question

I have a form I set to Maximized, but for some reason it\'s ignoring the taskbar and maximizing to the entire screen. Is that typical? Is there a workaround?

Answer 1

Set the form border to None before making it maximized.

This code will work in a single monitor:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
    this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}

I haven't tested the dual monitor scenario since i don't have this at this moment. :P

EDIT: I didn't get it "Maximized Screen Ignores Taskbar". What does Ignores mean?

Do you want your form to cover the taskbar and fill the entire screen?
