Switch Form Between Full Screen No Taskbar And Sizable With Taskbar?
Mar 29, 2011
I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?

Screen.PrimaryScreen doesn't always work because on a multi-monitor setup the user may move his/her taskbar to a screen other than the primary. Finding the screen with minimum working area doesn't work too because there may be monitors with different resolutions.

I've got a form that's supposed to position itself at the far right edge of the screen, and stretch in height to fill the whole heigth of the working area.Nothing too strange about that, and so I wrote a solution using Screen.WorkingArea.Height, which worked fine as long as I ran locally. The snag is that in production the form is run in a Citrix environment, and it seems to completely ignore the taskbar height. In Citrix Screen.WorkingArea.Height returns the exact same value as Screen.Bounds.Height - thus stretching itself under the taskbar.My idea is to use Screen.Bounds.Height (as that seems to be returned correctly) and subtract the taskbar height on my own. Only problem is the only examples I can find on how to do this involve Screen.Bounds.Height - Screen.WorkingArea.Height.

i made a border-less form. I minimize it by clicking on a picture-box.
Private Sub picminimize_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles picminimize.Click
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
End Sub
If my form was not borderless then i could minimize and restore it by clicking on taskbar icon.... But since i made it borderless it doesnot get minimize on doing so... How do i enable it. Such that when user clicks the icon of my program on taskbar it gets minimized..

I am having a problem with my main form in the form load event. When the application is started, it loads a picture into a picture box and the form is resized to the dimensions of the picture box.
The problem is that the main form doesn�t show up in the taskbar until it looses focus and then is focused again.
The problem is caused by setting the forms maximum size and the forms minimum size during the form load event. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know it would work if I made a hidden startup screen and loaded the main form from there, but I would rather not do that.

The problem I am having now is, the form size is exactly the size of my screen resolution. This makes the bottom scrollbar cover up by the taskbar. If the taskbar is hidden then it could solve the problem but I cannot set all PC to hide the taskbar

I want to know how to start a forum hidden. I know I can just add Me.Hide() to the Window_Loaded event, But it's ugly. The user sees the form for a split second then it dissapears. I want to form to start up hidden. Little background on my program, it is a small taskbar application, Has a small notify icon. When the app is loaded. I only want the notify icon to be visible. I have done this by creating my own Main subroutine in a Module that I created. and I am laucnhing the application like so
Imports System.Windows.Application
Module MainModule
Sub Main()
Dim mainWin As New MainWindow
[CODE]...

I have two forms for my application, that are visible in the Windows taskbar. When a modal dialog is popped up on the main form, the secondary form is locked. However, when the user clicks on the secondary form on the taskbar, it appears over the modal dialog box, and is basically frozen. Is there a way to ensure that the modal dialog box does not draw underneath the secondary form? The topmost property is no good, since this draws on top of everything, even stuff not related to the application.

I have developed vb.net application and have one main form with isMdiContainer property true. It has one Menustrip control docking on top of the form and StatusStrip docking on bottom of the scrren. When User click on any menu item it opens new form or if already opened, show it. My application allow to open multiple child forms opened at same time and all forms StartPosition is set to CenterScreen. My problem is becuase all forms are in cetenr it ovelaps each other and user wouldn't know which form(menu option) is opend. I would like to see all opened forms in different tabs (like in windows taskbar) in bottom of MDI parent form.

I have a program with which I can open a second form on a beamer, this works perfect, but what I do notice it that on the taskbar (I have windows 7) I see the main icon of the app but also the form that is created.What I would like is that the second icon is not displayed on the taskbar thumbnails, this way I can't close the second form by the X but only by a button on the main app.

Simply saying I've added an Notify Icon to my project and then added context menu showing up when the left mouse button is pressed. The problem is that with the context menu some blank form is showing in the taskbar. There is no such form within the project.Does anyone know why it may be happening or how to get rid of the effect? I might add that I have other context menu attached for mouse right click button and it works fine, no blank forms and such showing on the taskbar it's just the left mouse button that works that way.Here is the code that I am using to show the menu:(the visible state to false is necessary for the other menus not to pop up with the one i want... unless anyone knows better method)
Private Sub NotifyIcon_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon.Click
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then

When I press "Show Desktop" button in the taskbar my main form "disappears". The only way to show it again is by pressing an other program which is open in the taskbar (lets say Word) to rise and unrise again.

I'm making a manually started screen-saver-esque program, and I need the "Black screen" form to be full screen, totally black and border-less.
I have so far managed to fix the last two criterea with changing the border style and form back color, but how do I make the form default full-screen?
The only settings I could find were things like "Manual" and "Center Parent". I'm probably just missing something obvious, but how do I make the form full-screen by default?

I have a windows form with nothing more than 4 picture boxes on there and a button. How (if even possible) can I show this page in full screen mode but at the same time allow each control on the form to format and resize in proportion.The best analogy I can give to describe what I want is when thinking about PowerPoint. When you create a slide and then press the F5 button to go into slideshow mode, no matter what size monitor or resolution you use, it always fills up the screen appropriately.

The icon on my app should be the one on the taskbar. But its showing up as an older icon I used. I know it's not the icon file. It must be the app itself. What do I do?
