I would like to make my WPF application fullscreen. Right now the start menu prevents it from covering everything and shifts my application up. This is what I have for my MainWindow.xaml code:
<Window x:Class="HTA.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
mc:Ignorable="d"
WindowStyle="None" ResizeMode="NoResize"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
Width="1024" Height="768">
You're probably missing the WindowState="Maximized"
, try the following:
<Window x:Class="HTA.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"
WindowStyle="None" ResizeMode="NoResize"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" WindowState="Maximized">
When you're doing it by code the trick is to call
WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
first and then
WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
to get it to display over the Taskbar.
window.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
window.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;
window.Left = 0;
window.Top = 0;
window.Width = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth;
window.Height = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight;
window.Topmost = true;
Works with multiple screens
<Window x:Class="HTA.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
mc:Ignorable="d"
ResizeMode="NoResize"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
Width="1024" Height="768"
WindowState="Maximized" WindowStyle="None">
Window state to Maximized and window style to None
If you want user to change between WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow
and WindowStyle.None
at runtime you can bring this at code behind:
Make application fullscreen:
RootWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
RootWindow.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
RootWindow.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;
RootWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
RootWindow.Topmost = true;
RootWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
Return to single border style:
RootWindow.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.SingleBorderWindow;
RootWindow.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.CanResize;
RootWindow.Topmost = false;
Note that without RootWindow.Visibility
property your window will not cover start menu, however you can skip this step if you making application fullscreen once at startup.
You can also do it at run time as follows :
HomePage.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
