I have your code in place and it works as far as turning off the taskbar. However the are where the taskbar is still seems unusable.

.Net 3.5 CE 5.00.0000

If you have a sample project would you mind sending it.

The motorola symbol unit I am using has a 324×324 screen.

Thanks

I am sorry for not answering this sooner, but I was on a long vacation away from this blog. You maybe figured it out for yourself by then. Anyway, the control is the window you want to display in full screen mode. I have a main form which I toggle in full screen by passing it as an argument to these methods. If you call it from the same form class, for instance the Load event handler, placing a “this” as argument would do the trick.

This looks to be exactly what I am looking for! I have tried other suggested methods including the SHFullScreen, just to be left with an empty space where the taskbar used to be, but my app didn’t cover that area.

I do have 1 question: what control is supposed to be passed into the StartFullScreen(control) and StopFullScreen(control) methods?
