Screen size

[Thmemuar]

Hi.

I've set my main form (top-level) to be maximized. The user can close or minimize it, but not otherwise resize it (intentional).

But the bottom of the form doesn't stop at the Windows status bar. So when I generate a preview and then minimize the preview, the minimized icon 'disappears' under the status bar. If I move the status bar to get to it, the form fills the space previously occupied by the status bar, so I still can't get at the minimized preview.

Isn't there a way of telling my form to be maximized at most normal resolutions, but not stretch under the status bar?

Thanks.

Try this in the init of the form instead of maximizing. Although top-level maximize would mean it covers the taskbar, otherwise it wouldn't be top-level

this.Height =SYSMETRIC(2)
this.Width=SYSMETRIC(1)

Thanks Mike.

SYSMETRIC(2) seems to have the same limitation, but SYSMETRIC(22) expands only to the status bar.

Whatever works for you
