C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

Form1->BorderStyle=bsNone;
Form1->WindowState=wsMaximized;

I believe...

Thanks for your help I got it configured..... you need API functions to get it done.... wsMaximized covers all the available workspace...that does not include the taskbar thus the taskbar has to be hidden first and then the Form can be maximized....

Oh, I see. You were looking for a maximized screen like a video game would be maximized. I understood it like you wanted a standard windows form maximized.

Re: Cbuilder Fullscreen form how to ???

Here is what Ive done in case someone searched for it .....

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 Form1->FormStyle = fsStayOnTop;
 Form1->Width = Screen->Width;
 Form1->Height = Screen->Height;
 Form1->BorderStyle = bsNone;
 Form1->Top = 0;
 Form1->Left = 0;
//and to hide the taskbar "FindWindow gets the handle of the taskbar"
 ShowWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), SW_HIDE); 
 
//to show the taskbar again
 ShowWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), SW_SHOW);
 Form1->FormStyle = fsStayOnTop;
 Form1->Width = Screen->Width;
 Form1->Height = Screen->Height;
 Form1->BorderStyle = bsNone;
 Form1->Top = 0;
 Form1->Left = 0;
//and to hide the taskbar "FindWindow gets the handle of the taskbar"
 ShowWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), SW_HIDE); 

//to show the taskbar again
 ShowWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), SW_SHOW);
