Coincidentally I had to solve the same problem today for my own application.
The solution is to do the following:
1) Form properties:
maximized, no control box, no maximize box, no minimize box.
2) in Activate event handler call:
public static void SetFullScreen(Form frm, bool bFullScreen)
{
IntPtr hWnd = GetHandle(frm);
SHFullScreen(hWnd, bFullScreen? (SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON|SHFS_HIDESTARTICON)
: (SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON|SHFS_SHOWTASKBAR));
}
private const int SHFS_SHOWTASKBAR = 1;
private const int SHFS_HIDETASKBAR = 2;
private const int SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON = 4;
private const int SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON = 8;
private const int SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON = 0x10;
private const int SHFS_HIDESTARTICON = 0x20;
[DllImport("aygshell.dll")]
private static extern int SHFullScreen(IntPtr hWnd, int dwState);
