Cannot fully programatically maximize window.

[pingu2k4]

Hi,

Having this live of code called: this.WindowState = System.Windows.WindowState.Maximized;

does change the size of the window, however there are borders all around the window, where the window isn't touching the edge of the screen or the taskbar. Here is my opening window tag:

    <Controls:MetroWindow x:Name="GameWindow" x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:MahApps.Metro.Controls;assembly=MahApps.Metro"
                      ShowMinButton="False"
                      ShowMaxRestoreButton="False"
                      ResizeMode="NoResize"
                      SaveWindowPosition="True"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" GlowBrush="#FF07908E" Background="#FF252525"
                      WindowState="Maximized"
                      IgnoreTaskbarOnMaximize="True">

Effectively, I want to come out of fullscreen as it is set to when it launches, and have it take up all the screen but not cover the taskbar... Which it does apart from it leaves this strange gap around....

@pingu2k4 which version?

[pingu2k4]

Apologies. Version 1.1.1.0.

As can probably be seen by the simplicity of the program so far I am kind of new to this framework, but I can't find how to do this anywhere I search online, and I'm sure that it should work correctly with what I have...

Just an update - I am now at home where I have 2 monitors and not just 1.
I get the exact same result here with the same project. however, I created a new project with mahapps.metro and a simple button. I used the same line of code to maximise, and on the new project it worked fine...

[pingu2k4]

OK, so I have found out where the problem lies. I had set
ResizeMode="NoResize"
And this is where the problem lies. I don't know whether it is expected behaviour to act as it does when this is set to noresize, but I can get this working properly with the following:

this.ResizeMode = System.Windows.ResizeMode.CanResize;
this.IgnoreTaskbarOnMaximize = !this.IgnoreTaskbarOnMaximize;
this.WindowState = System.Windows.WindowState.Maximized;
this.ResizeMode = System.Windows.ResizeMode.NoResize;

I am happy with using this whether I should have to or not really... I'll just keep this open for time being in case you want to do anything with this still. :) Feel free to close though.
