   [.net] [C#] Form Resizing Issue
  Hello everyone.  I'm creating a C# windows forms application with visual studio 2008 express edition.  I'm currently trying to resize the form to fit the working area of the screen when the screen resolution is smaller than the actual size of the form.  When the screen resolution is smaller than the form, I have it set that scrollbars automatically appear.  I've ran into a problem however with correctly resizing the form to fit the working area of the desktop.  I know how to get the working area of the desktop with Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea, and I set the Size of the form to that.  But there is an issue.  Part of the form on the right and bottom are cut off.  On the right side the form extends past the screen and cuts off about half of the scrollbar.  On the bottom the scrollbar can barely be seen as it's hiding behind the taskbar.  Here are a few things I've tried without any success://This has all been done in the Forms constructor after InitializeComponent()//this.Location = new Point(0, 0);//this.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width - 20;//this.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size;//this.Size = new Size(Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height);//this.MaximizeBox = true; //WORKS - but it relies on the user to actually press the button//this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;I've googled my problem and I have searched these forums but so far nothing as worked.  Anyone have any thoughts on what the problem could be?Thanks for your time.  Cheers,NotKen
  I think the StartPosition is screwing things up for you. This should work:public Form1(){InitializeComponent();this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;this.DesktopBounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;}Alternatively, putting the code in the form's Load event will make sure the StartPosition property has no influence on the form's location after you set it. Note that this causes different form behaviour if you hide/show the same form instance multiple times, since Load gets called every time you show the form, whereas the constructor obviously only gets called once.private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){this.DesktopBounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;} [Edited by - SirViver on July 10, 2010 12:57:52 PM];  Thanks for the reply SirViver.  Sadly I still get the same problem with:public Form1(){   InitializeComponent(); this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;this.DesktopBounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;}Cheers,NotKen   ;  Strange, can you post a screenshot maybe? Do you have any other code that messes around with the form's size? Cannot really think of anything else, to be honest.   ;  Here's a screen shot: Image Link As you can see the right side has been cut off, and the bottom scrollbar is hiding behind the taskbar.  The resolution of the screen was set to 800x600.  The normal dimensions of the form are 820x753. Cheers,NotKen
