Does anyone know how I can prevent my C# winform covering/going on top of the taskbar? My form's border style has been set to "FixedToolWindow" which seems to cause this. I thought about reducing the height of the form, when the user makes the form maximized, but that wouldn't work as people may have different size taskbars.
The Screen class will give you both screen bounds and working area. The working area is the bounds minus the taskbar, so just set your form to be the same location as the Screen's WorkingArea
The working area is the desktop area
of the display, excluding taskbars,
docked windows, and docked tool bars.

I want to do full screen application. But when window state maximize it is not my expected result.
Btw I'm new to visual studio

When maximized
There's not a standard size. You should check your form to make sure it will work at the different likely screen sizes and aspect ratios.
In your example, you can use the Anchor property of controls to cause them to expand and contract with the form. For example, the "Welcome to WasteAid" section of your form can be put into a container (such as a panel), and the anchors of that container can be set to Top, Bottom, Right. The left side could be set to Top, Bottom, Left. You can anchor controls with a container, or anchor the controls individually without a container. You can drag a corner of the form around in design mode to see how it will work at different sizes and aspect ratios.
I am having trouble making my WPF window resize in a different direction. Currently, when I shoot an event in my application, application resizes down (I make an element visible and then WPF window automatically resizes). I would like that my application would instead resize up, so that the application would not become hidden by a taskbar. How does one do that?
Below is a picture explaining my problem. Picture 1 shows small window. Picture 2 shows the problem, where window resizes beyond the screen. Picture 3 shows what I want to do.
I can surely code this resizing in my code, where I would move the window, but is there not a nice way in WPF?
Changing the Width or Height property of your window will always change the layout of it to the right or bottom.
The Left and Top property of the window determine the X- and Y-Offset of your window relative to the top-left corner of your screen.
To achieve your goal, you have to do 2 steps:
Increase the window Height by the amount of X
Decrease the window Top by the amount of X
Does anyone at all know how to get C# GUI programs to automatically open maximized and fit correctly in whatever screen resolution is on the computer?when I run and maximize the application the tablepage(Control) is not maximize and as well as other controls.please help me with details...
Use the WindowState property: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.windowstate(v=vs.110).aspx
Set the property to Maximized before you show the form.
If you want your controls to resize with the window, use the Anchor and Dock properties in the Forms Designer.
Use Anchor to have a control's edge be a fixed distance from a given edge, and use the Dock property to have a control fill an area.
If you imagine a win form with a line drawn vertically down the middle. On the left i have a graph, and when you click the graph certain forms open on the right in an mdi type panel.
I am trying to figure out how to logically get this to look like a proper application should but am failing!
The whole form loads in a maximised view. I first set the panel width to 0 then when i add a form i check if the panels width is less than the forms, if it is then change the panels width to that of the forms.
This doesn't look great tho tbh, resizing makes strange things happen and i see a lot of grey. Does anyone have any ideas?
Use a SplitContainer on your main form. Ensure it's Dock property is set to Fill
Put your graph stuff on the left panel, and your other stuff on the right side.
I have a Windows Form with a default size of 1100x400, and I have a DataGridView control on it anchored to Top, Left, Bottom, Right.
Resizing the form on a screen with resolution higher than 1100x400 works fine, and the anchoring works well, resizing the DataGridView control as expected.
When I launch the form on a screen with resolution 800x600, the form is cut off, and made to fit the 800x600. The DataGridView is cut off, and cannot be seen entirely - it bleeds off the form to the right, so it's not respecting the right anchor. Resizing the form in this situation doesn't respect the anchoring settings for some reason: the DataGridView control does not resize when the form is resized.
Is there a way programmatically (on a resize event or something) to force the child DataGridView control to anchor to the sides of the form?
I've already tried calling a PerformLayout and Refresh in the Form's resize event but it's rather redundant, isn't it?
I would recommend you to play with MinimumSize/MaximumSize of the form and controls
We usually set MinimumSize for the form and controls to the value, when we can see at least small part of each control. There is no use to allow resizing a form to the size, when you cannot do any usefull work with the controls on it
As for MaximumSize for the form - I'll recommend you to try setting this value on Form_Load to be less or equal current screen resolution or current working area (which is the screen area without taskbars, docked windows, etc.)
