Hide Taskbar on fullscreen WPF

Question

recently i had tried to make task-bar invisible in maximize mode but unfortunately nothing worked.
i had some research over MSDN and stack overflow and most of them said make window border equal to none and maximize window.but it didn't worked.
BTW: i am using Metro-window and it has a hide task-bar functionality by itself.but it didn't worked either.

did you try to set window border equal to none and set with/height window to screen with /height after form loading? – Nurserymaid

border brush naturally is none and yes i tried seting window height/width manually but didn't worked.this is my exact defination of window: <code>Title="Fullscreen" Height="406.225" Width="754" WindowStyle="None" ResizeMode="NoResize" WindowState="Maximized" IgnoreTaskbarOnMaximize="True" ShowCloseButton="False" ShowTitleBar="False" ShowInTaskbar="False"</code> – Mere

I opened up a new WPF project and added WindowStyle="None" ResizeMode="NoResize" WindowState="Maximized" ShowInTaskbar="False" to the Window properties. It worked correctly for me. Maybe your metro-window extension is messing things up. – Mash

thanks you're right. it was metro window's bug (i had doubt but i had so many taughts about other aspects of project and i forgot to try a new project without metro window) – Mere

My experience on Windows 8.1 is that setting WindowStyle="None" WindowState="Maximized" (as most people say) is not enough.

To hide taskbar I had to set ResizeMode="NoResize"

Thanks for that tip, it did the trick but it was important to set it before setting the WindowStyle and WindowState (at least when doing it programatically). Hope this little info helps those struggeling^^ – Gardol
