Maximizing window with MFC

HI, this must be very simple, but I'm new to Windows programming.

I want to maximize the main program's window at startup. But if I change cx and cy member of the CREATESTRUCT structure to values:

Code:

---

cs.cx=GetDeviceCaps(::GetDC(this->m_hWnd),HORZRES);  and cs.cy=GetDeviceCaps(::GetDC(this->m_hWnd),VERTRES);

---

in the

Code:

---

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)

---

function this window's size is the size of the whole screen and at the bottom is hiden from the taskbar of the windows. I it's y-size to smaller- not to overlap with the taskbar.

You might want to try the ShowWindow function. Well, there is already a call to this function in your application's class (ex. MyApp.cpp) inside the "InitInstance()" function. It should be something like:

Code:

---

m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

---

Just change SW_SHOW to SW_MAXIMIZE.
