Yo! i can.
Set the windows property to no border (0) and set the windowsstate (as david I told) to 2 (maximized) then you have your game style app
Good Luck!

i do it like this... add the Microsoft Sysinfo control 6.0 component to your project then place it on your form then add this code to your form load event. Form1.Width = SysInfo1.WorkAreaWidth Form1.Left = SysInfo1.WorkAreaLeft Form1.Height = SysInfo1.WorkAreaHeight that will fill the screen at any resolution then if you change resolutions while the app is still running just add the code to the display changed event or better yet write a sub and just call it at load up and in the display changed event... easy as cake don't you think like this:
Private Sub SysInfo1_DisplayChanged() MyDisplay End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load() MyDisplay End Sub
Public Sub MyDisplay() Form1.Height = SysInfo1.WorkAreaHeight Form1.Width = SysInfo1.WorkAreaWidth Form1.Top = SysInfo1.WorkAreaTop Form1.Left = SysInfo1.WorkAreaLeft End Sub
by the way this is code and it will work all the time regardless of current resolution or if you change resolutions while your application is running (i think i just repeated myself):) have fun!
