I've seen some code in other sites that distinguishes between
"maximized" and "full screen". With "full screen"
being able to cover the taskbar which is very effective indeed,
especially when you intend to run your program in a kiosk. :)
Anyway, I think I got the answer after inserting this line of code
under the form's load event:
private void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//For this to work, ensure that the Form has its :
// StartPosition = Manual and WindowsState = Normal
this.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width;
this.Height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height;
}
