Full Screen in Windows CE 5.0

[6o6o]

Hi i'm having a problem with my windows CE program,
I was trying to hide the taskbar and have my app full screen
but it doesn't work,
it will hide/show the task bar alright but will not maximise the form,
it still doeesn't cover the area where the taskbar usually is!

heres my code so far:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

int h = FindWindow("HHTaskBar", "");
EnableWindow(h, false);
ShowWindow(h, 0);
Update();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
Update();
this.Height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height;
Update();


}
private void Form1_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
int h = FindWindow("HHTaskBar", "");
EnableWindow(h, true);
ShowWindow(h, 1);
Update();


}

Hi, This solution doesn;t seem to work for CE 5.0.

it works ok on the pocket pc emulator but not on my device!

i still get a blank area on the bottom of the screen where the task
bar used to be!

You should probably set the window rectangle for your top-level window to
the size of the screen. Where in the order of execution are you calling
SHFullScreen()? Your window would have to exist and be visible for it to
work...

Do you have a menu component on your form?

function!
