Disabling top line in Win Mobile 2003

  Can someone explain to me why the solution isn't windowstate=maximized

  I can do windowstate=maximized for forms I've created but It doesn't work with other application's forms (I run applications whith Process.Start() function). And now I maximize them whith FindWindow and SHFullScreen functions.

  Thank you very much! That's really what I looked for!

  Try this snipset
  
  public class SHAPI
  {
  public const int SHFS_SHOWTASKBAR = 1;
  public const int SHFS_HIDETASKBAR = 2;
  public const int SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON = 4;
  public const int SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON = 8;
  public const int SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON = 16;
  public const int SHFS_HIDESTARTICON = 32;
  
  [DllImport("aygshell.dll")]
  private extern static bool SHFullScreen(IntPtr hWnd, int dwState);
  
  public static bool FullScreen(IntPtr hWnd)
  {
  return SHFullScreen(hWnd, SHFS_HIDESTARTICON | SHFS_HIDETASKBAR);
  }
  
  [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
  internal static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
  
  }
  
  public class API
  {
  [DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow")]
  private extern static IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string
  lpWindowName);
  
  public static IntPtr FindWindow(string windowName)
  {
  return FindWindow(null, windowName);
  }
  }
  
  //use the code code above like that
  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
  IntPtr hWnd = API.FindWindow(this.Text);
  if (hWnd != IntPtr.Zero)
  {
  this.MaximizeBox = false;
  
  this.MinimizeBox = false;
  
  this.Focus();
  
  SHAPI.SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);
  SHAPI.FullScreen(hWnd);
  }
  }
  
  However you should also disable the hardware keys in order to prevent user from switching to another application. See if the following posts may help:
