How do I make a form fullscreen at runtime?

How do I make a form fullscreen at runtime? So that there is no toolbar at the top.

use the set properties in your code in the form load section. For example: the width and height of the form etc.

Tried that, it restricts the maximum values to the height and width of the screen. I want the blue bar at the top with Minimise resize and maximise gone. Just a grey form...Filling the whole screen

Just set borderstyle to none and window state to maximized in the form's properties.

vbrocks is right...set the boderstyle to none and window state to maximized. Do this when the form loads:

Me.BorderStyle = 0
Me.WindowState = 2
Me.MaxButton = False
Me.MinButton = False

 

[PockyBum522]

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.BorderStyle = 0
Me.WindowState = 2
End Sub

Works great except for the bar at top is still there.

Me.MaxButton = False
Me.MinButton = False

That gives me an error:
Function or interface marked as restricted or the function uses a automation type not supported in visual basic.

jsut set all the properties you need in the properties window i.e. the borderstyle to none and MinButton and MaxButton to false, WindowStyle to Maximized. Try and experiment with the properties window and see what you come up with.

sub Full_Screen
Me.Top = 0
Me.Left = 0
Me.Height = Screen.Height
Me.Width = Screen.Width
Me.BorderStyle = 0
end sub

I need to make a program that locks my computer unless you know the password, I want to know: Is there a way to block all keys except a-z? So the user can't alt+tab or any of the thousands of other things to get rid of it.
