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

Taskbar can be docked at left, top, bottom, right side. If you want maximized window without overlayed taskbar, use this code:

...cut...
  public partial class Form2 : Form
    {
        public Form2()
        {
          // set default start position to manual  
          this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.Manual; 


          // set position and size to the Form.  
          this.Bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea; 


      ....
          InitializeComponent();
        }

...cut...
