    If its your own form/window then you can easily just add Me.WindowState = vbMaximized.

    i do not want to maximize the form itself. I do not want it to get placed in task bar! I tried that method it made the form itself bix and placed it in task bar!

    By setting the form's ShowInTaskBar property to false ?

    Just use the Me.WindowState = vbNormal but you will need to do like I just posted in order to trap the event.

    Many thanks to u . It worked well . Is there a way to put all the windows to some sort of system tray instead of task bar?


    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Command1_Click()

    2.     'WinKey down

    3.     keybd_event VK_STARTKEY, 0, 0, 0

    4.     'M key down

    5.     keybd_event VK_M, 0, 0, 0

    6.     'M key up

    7.     keybd_event VK_M, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0

    8.     'WinKey up

    9.     keybd_event VK_STARTKEY, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0

    10.     

    11. [B]    'do not minimiz form itself

    12.     Me.WindowState = vbMaximized

    13.     Me.WindowState = vbNormal[/B]

    14. End Sub
