Code: nomainwin
' get the size of the desktop area
' not occupied by the task bar
' or any application side bar
struct RECT, _
left as long, _
top as long, _
right as long, _
bottom as long
uiAction = _SPI_GETWORKAREA
calldll #user32, "SystemParametersInfoA", _
uiAction as ulong, _
uiParam as ulong, _
RECT as struct, _
fWinIni as ulong, _
result as long
' get the coordinates of the rectangle
PosLeft = RECT.left.struct
PosTop = RECT.top.struct
PosRight = RECT.right.struct
PosBottom = RECT.bottom.struct
' calculate the maximum window size
MaxWindowWidth = PosRight - PosLeft
MaxWindowHeight = PosBottom - PosTop
' set the window size
WindowWidth = MaxWindowWidth
WindowHeight = MaxWindowHeight
' set the window position
UpperLeftX = PosLeft + 1
UpperLeftY = PosTop + 1
' display the window
open "Full Screen Window with Task Bar showing" for window as #m
