    Programmatically Maximize screen

    I give my user a button to change the properties of the size property of
    maximize screen size. How can I programmaticall y cause the maximize screen
    function to happen after changing the property so the new max screen property
    will be realized? Right now I have to tell the user to unmaximize the screen
    and remaximize the screen to have the property take effect. :o(

    Thanks!

      I am not sure if I understand your question. You can set the form's
      'WindowState' property to maximize a form. However, which "screen" do you
      want to maximize?

          Re: Programmaticall y Maximize screen

          I am only using the default Form1.

          OK. I tried this...
          Me.WindowState = FormWindowState .Normal
          Me.WindowState = FormWindowState .Maximized

          I had to do the normal 1st followed by the max to get my new property for
          max screen size to take effect. Going back to normal then back to Max
          visually is not really very clean way to do it because it causes the Form to
          bounce around while it is changing back to normal then back to max.

          Is there a way just to cause the already max screen to refresh using my new
          max screen size without going back to Normal and back again to Max?

          Almost there!

          Thank you!

          Bob

              Hmm, if you can maximize a form/screen, Herfried, can you show me how to
              maximize a monitor from 17" to 32"?

              :P
