Questiong about WindowState

If I choose form windowState=Maximized and BorderStyle=1. This form will cover my windows tast bar when it is running.

What should I do to keep BorderStyle=1 and Full fill the window except for the task bar？


Thanks

Instead of setting the windowstate to maximized, do this:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" ( _
                ByVal uAction As Long, _
                ByVal uParam As Long, _
                lpvParam As Any, _
                ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
 
Private Const SPI_GETWORKAREA As Long = 48
 
Private Type RECT
    lLeft As Long
    lTop As Long
    lRight As Long
    lBottom As Long
End Type
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim deskRECT As RECT
    
    Call SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0&, deskRECT, 0&)
    
    With deskRECT
        Me.Move .lLeft * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, _
                .lTop * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, _
                (.lRight - .lLeft) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, _
                (.lBottom - .lTop) * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
    End With
End Sub

Thanks a lot

Done

Great :thumb:

I see you've added the green tick, but if you go to thread tools just above your first post and click 'Mark Thread Resolved' then it makes it even clearer. Thanks.

I have a custom TitleBar with three buttons : minimize,Maximize and close.
For Maximize I used your code becuase I dont want my form to cover taskbar.
The question now is How to make a form normal?
Normal - when a user double clicks the TitleBar(windowState=VbNormal doesnt work)?

I have created a new thread for this, please answer me on that thread :
