Wpf – How to? WPF Window – Maximized, No Resize/Move

maximize-windowwindowwindow-resizewpf

I'm trying to make a WPF window that opens already maximized, with no resize/move (in systemmenu, nor in border). It should be maximized all the time, except when the user minimize it.

I tried to put WindowState="Maximized" and ResizeMode="CanMinimize", but when window opens, it covers the task bar (i don't want it).

I have an hook to WndProc that cancels the SC_MOVE and SC_SIZE.
I also can make this control with conditions in WndProc like "if command is restore and is minimized, restore, else, block" and so on.

But my point is if we have another way to make it.
Thankz for read guys =)

It is necessary to write WindowState="Maximized" ResizeMode="NoResize" in xaml of your window:

<Window x:Class="Miscellaneous.EditForm"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Edit Form" WindowState="Maximized" ResizeMode="NoResize"></Window>

JavaScript window resize event

Best practice is to attach to the resize event.

window.addEventListener('resize', function(event) {
    ...
}, true);

jQuery is just wrapping the standard resize DOM event, eg.

window.onresize = function(event) {
    ...
};

jQuery may do some work to ensure that the resize event gets fired consistently in all browsers, but I'm not sure if any of the browsers differ, but I'd encourage you to test in Firefox, Safari, and IE.

Those are "non-client" areas and are controlled by Windows. Here is the MSDN docs on the subject (the pertinent info is at the top).

Basically, you set your Window's WindowStyle="None", then build your own window interface. (similar question on SO)
