Fullscreen application option (hide app title bar)

Question

Hello I would like to know if there is a way to have my application run, without a title bar, essentially maximized so that only the body is visible on the screen. I'm sure I can work things like a show/hide option for a menuStrip on mouseOver or something like that, but for the title bar, I'm not sure. If there was a way to show/hide that on a mouseOver can someone provide an example? This is for a WinForms application.

In WinForms, you can just set FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

If you want something easy you should work on a panel instead of work directly on the form and set the panel's dock to fill. So:

//...
panel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

//some stuff here

Controls.Add(panel);

Then when you want to see the full screen application, maximize the form and hide the titlebar like here:

WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
