When I do this  I get a very small square screen instead of a maxed screen  Yet  when I only use the FormWindowState Maximized  it does give me a full screen  Why is that           public partial class Testscherm   Form                   public Testscherm                                       this WindowState   FormWindowState Maximized                      this MaximizeBox   false                      this MinimizeBox   false                      this MinimumSize   this Size                      this MaximumSize   this Size                      this FormBorderStyle   System Windows Forms FormBorderStyle FixedSingle                      InitializeComponent

When your form is maximized  set its minimum size   max size  so user cannot resize it       this WindowState   FormWindowState Maximized      this MinimumSize   this Size      this MaximumSize   this Size

To stop the window being resizeable once you ve maximised it you need to change the FormBorderStyle from Sizable to  one of the fixed constants   FixedSingle Fixed3D FixedDialog   From the MSDN Page Remarks section      The border style of the form determines how the outer edge of the form appears  In addition to changing the border display for a form  certain border styles prevent the form from being sized  For example  the FormBorderStyle FixedDialog border style changes the border of the form to that of a dialog box and prevents the form from being resized  The border style can also affect the size or availability of the caption bar section of a form    It will change the appearance of the form if you pick Fixed3D for example  and you ll probably have to do some work if you want the form to restore to non-maximised and be resizeable again
