Hide taskbar while my forms are in the full-screen mode?
I am developing a custom interface for a custom built (specific purpose) computer.
.Net 3.5
Windows XP Pro
I have been given a requirement that the taskbar never be visible when my forms are in full-screen mode.
I set my forms to full-screen using :
WinApi.SetWinFullScreen(ta rgetForm.H andle);
The problem I am having is that the taskbar keeps appearing over my forms.
My forms have the TopMost property set to true.
How can I ensure that the taskbar never appears while my forms are in the full-screen mode?

That works, but I am left withn another problem.
My application also includes a soft keyboard which I manage in an AppBar.
When I show my keyboard, even though the taskbar is not visible, Windows continues to manage the taskbar space as if the taskbar were there.
I am including an image that reveals the issue. The area at the bottom of the image where you can see a lanscape photo instead of the keyboard is the taskbar area. The taskbar is not visible, but Windows manages the space as if it is.
