Fullscreen application WM6 C#

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to create a full screen application in C# for Windows Mobile 6?

I'm trying to achieve a similar display to applications such as Tom Tom where all the OS elements such as the Start/Task bar are hidden and my application completely fills the screen.

I'm using VS 2008 with .Net 3.5

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if it's any different in WM6, but in WM2003 I was able to "hide" the taskbar etc by simply setting WindowState to Maximized on all the forms in my application.

Yes, that (still) works

Spot on, thanks!One thing i have noticed is the input button bar at the bottom is still displayed, any ideas on how to remove that?Thanks again

Not entirely sure, but I think the button bar you're referring to is the MainMenu or Toolbar on the form. If you remove mainMenu1 from the form then it should disappear.

Like what Matt Hamilton said, but form personal experience sometimes on ( This was WM5 and .NET 2 ) you may need to set the this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; again. For me it sometimes got overriden so the taskbar could show when either i multitasked on the device, or when i started to listen to a COM port.
