form expand in whole screen

[sarris]

Hi there, is there anyway to expand my applications form on the whole pdas screen??
I mean, i dont want either the upper bar (start, time, volume), nor the down bar (keyboard, options) to show. i want to take full advantage of the screen.

thanks in advance

set the form maximsed to true... this should make the form take up all the screen

wow you are fast...i edited my reply, i was setting the width of the form hardcode in my program. took that off and maximized windows state worked fine.
thanks

moreover, as long as i have the window mazimized, how can i get its width and height? i am using pocket pc 2003 and working on the compact framework

just as a follow up, on windows ce its different in that you need to set the taskbar to autohide.....

what does me.height and .width return when its maximised...
also since it ll be maximised to the screen size you could use
Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height and .Width
