Description

  • In some scenarios you may wish to open a Microsoft Access database form as full screen mode or Kiosk Mode.  
  • In RDP or local Console this form will fill the full screen including the taskbar
  • Running Access as a published application, the form will not fill the full screen and will show the taskbar

Resolution

Solution:

  • You will need to set a seamless flag to target the Window Classname of the form that needs to fill the screen
  • The seamless flag that needs to be set is : “Disable MM Window Region Fit” 0x00020000

To set this flag:

  • Please download the Citrix CAX Tool from : https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX222592 and place on your VDA Server
  • Find out the form Parent Class by using Windows history tool: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX109235

Problem Cause

- Microsoft Access Form is not covering the taskbar as designed for Full Screen/Kiosk Mode
- Seamless Engine is fitting the window as designed on top of the Taskbar
- Seamless flag needed to tell the window to maintain fullscreen
