No do you think Microsoft should really have an alternative state which show up the Taskbar as it does with normal windows ? I think yes.Īs I needed to do this, I have just tried out few workarounds to this myself.įollowing Lester's Blog on this issue, I have to use When you restore a WPF screen, it will also recalculate the work area based on the distance between the resolution boundaries and resize itself accordingly. Hence, when you specify it to Maximized, it takes up the whole screen, as otherwise some portion of the screen will be hidden outside the range of the boundary. If you specify it to be full screen, it first gets the Resolution of the screen, and draws the pixel based on its own algorithm. If I am not wrong, WPF builds application based on the Screen Resolution. Yes, this is the problem that I faced recently, when people wanted me to show the TaskBar even though the application should be Maximized. As I say, it hides the whole screen, it means it even will not show up the Taskbar or any external gadgets applied to your desktop if it is not set to Always on Top attribute to it. Set WindowState to None : By this the window will be maximized to the whole screen and will show only the window and nothing else.

The window style will be transformed to a Box with border in it. Set WindowStyle to Maximized : By this the Window will not show up any title bar.Say you want your WPF application to have no Title bar, and will maximized to Full Screen, what you first think of.
