Display full screen MetroFormThe MetroForm bounds have been handled in the NativeMethods class by excluding the system taskbar bounds. So, it is possible to override the NativeMethods class functionality and the MetroForm bounds can be set to full screen by overriding this class. The following code example demonstrates the same. C# using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms; //Sets the Form border style. this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; //Gets the FullScreen. WinApi.SetWinFullScreen(this.Handle); public class WinApi { [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetSystemMetrics")] public static extern int GetSystemMetrics(int which); [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern void SetWindowPos(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr hwndInsertAfter, int X, int Y, int width, int height, uint flags); private const int SM_CXSCREEN = 0; private const int SM_CYSCREEN = 1; private static IntPtr HWND_TOP = IntPtr.Zero; private const int SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 64; // 0×0040 public static int ScreenX { get { return GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); } } public static int ScreenY { get { return GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN); } } public static void SetWinFullScreen(IntPtr hwnd) { SetWindowPos(hwnd, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, ScreenX, ScreenY, SWP_SHOWWINDOW); } }
