Task bar keeps appearing

In our project, we define several forms to display, all set 'maximized'.
However, sometimes the windows task bar still shows, thereby
overlapping the top part of our application, where we also display some
information. We have not found any reason or connection for this, it
just 'sometimes' happens, other times (even in the same form) not.

Is this a known issue and do you perhaps know of any workaround?
Thanks,
 
since we use .NET 2.0, should it not be possible to maximize using .NET
only calls?

Why should it? While it feels nice to be using a managed API, at the end of
the day all managed code will pinvoke to native; whether your code does it
or MSFT's code does it, there is no difference.

Naturally common tasks make it into the framework but some commonly
requested tasks go against the platform guidelines e.g. kiosk mode:

We intent to use the Spb Kiosk Engine in our project, the same app as
was suggested for 'partial kiosk mode' in the article you mentioned.
Perhaps that application will also help to force the taskbar to the
background. Thanks for the info anyway, certainly something to take into
consideration for future projects.
