PRB: Form Is Movable When Maximized

• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you set the WindowState property of a form to "2 - Maximized," you can move the form by clicking on the titlebar and dragging it.

RESOLUTION

The standard for Windows CE applications is to have no titlebar on maximized forms. To do this, set the BorderStyle property of the Form to "0 - None" and the Windowstate property to "2 - Maximized." Be sure to include a button, menu, or some other means of closing the form (for example, using the Hide method or the App.End method).

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
