Running .NET Form fullscreen

Question

I'd like my application to be run as "fullscreen" much like a powerpoint presentation is ran. The title bar is gone and the menu bar is also gone.

I dont think it should be too complicated but I just can't find how to do it

Here is a great example showing how to do this.

It requires a couple of P/Invoke calls.

Answer 4

Try this (VB.NET syntax):

Me.MaximizeBox = False
Me.MinimizeBox = False
Me.TopMost = False
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
Me.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized

Answer 5

Make sure you take account of multi-monitor scenario. This code will make your form full-screen on the active monitor (where mouse cursor is).

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
this.Bounds = Screen.FromPoint(MousePosition).Bounds;
