    Startup Maximized?

    How can I start my main form as maximized as it can be on the screen right when it loads?

    When I try to do it through properties there are only 4 selections and none of them start it up as maximized as it can be on my screen. Any clues?

    Thanks in advance

    The simple answer to your question is to include the following code in the form load event:

    VB Code:
    1. Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

    However, if you mean you want Full Screen Mode whereby the title bar containing the maximise/minimise/close buttons is not visible then you also have to add:

    VB Code:
    1. me.controlbox=False

    2. Me.text=""

    The foregoing, whilst believed to be correct, is given without guarantee as to it's accuracy and entirely without recourse. You are required to decide for yourself whether or not it is suitable for your purposes and no liability for loss of any nature can be entertained.
