Creating a Border-Less, Title Bar-Less, Maximized Form

In some applications, you may want to have a window that occupies the whole desktop without a title bar or borders. You can this easily by changing the dimensions of the form when it comes up

1. Start Microsoft Visual C++ .Net or MS Visual Studio .Net and create a new Windows Forms Application named WholeScreen
2. Change the FormBorderStyle property to None
3. Add a Button to the form. Change its properties as follows:
   Name: btnClose
   FlatStyle: Popup
   Caption: X
    
   
4. Double-click the form
5. Return to the form and double-click the X button
6. Implement both events as follows:
    

   private: System::Void Form1_Load(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e) { this->SetBounds(0, 0, Screen::GetBounds(this).Width, Screen::GetBounds(this).Height); this->btnClose->Left = Screen::GetBounds(this).Width - 22; this->btnClose->Top = 0; } private: System::Void btnClose_Click(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e) { Close(); }

7. Execute the application
