Criteria for Determining When the Task Bar Is Hidden

 * }

Q119093

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SUMMARY
This article describes the criteria Windows 95 uses to determine whether or not the task bar is hidden when a window becomes full screen.

MORE INFORMATION
The criteria are as follows:


 * The window is not a tool window.
 * The window is either not maximized, or it is maximized but doesn't have a caption.
 * The window is being sized such that it covers the entire work area.
 * The window is being sized such that one or more sides extend outside the work area.

If all four conditions are met, a state bit is set on that window. Then, whenever a window with that state bit (or a window that is owned by a window with that state bit) is activated, the task bar is hidden to allow the full-screen window to be displayed.
