Examples

In this example, you change the form's window state to Maximized and display the state information using a label. This example assumes that you have already created a Form named Form1.

public void InitMyForm()
{
    // Adds a label to the form.
    Label label1 = new Label();
    label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(54, 128);
    label1.Name = "label1";
    label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(220, 80);
    label1.Text = "Start position information";
    this.Controls.Add(label1);

    // Changes the window state to Maximized.
    WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
    // Displays the state information.
    label1.Text = "The form window is " + WindowState;	
}

Remarks
