One thing to note about using this technique is the maximized settings do not take effect until the form is displayed. If you set the form's WindowState property in the property sheet or set the property in the Init of the form, the Height and Width properties will show the settings of the form as it was in the form designer.

With that in mind, I think it is better to go with Cetin's other suggestion of using Sysmetric() and also making the form maximized. With the function, you willbe able to determine beforehand the size of the form and position controls appropriately. Then when the form is displayed in the Show method, it will be maximized and the controls will already be in position.

HTH.
