Form's WindowState wsMaximized question

Delphi 3.02 question.

If I set a Form's WindowState property to wsMaximized in either design time or in code,
it doesn't fully maximize on my screen, and is offset down and to the right of the
desktop size.  What could I be doing wrong?  (I'm not sure what other details to provide
-- I think its a plain vanilla form...)

Thanks, Brian

Have you tried simply calling ShowWindow(Handle, sw_Maximized) on your form?

Brian,

you have the Position property of the form set to poScreenCenter. That does conflict with
WindowState wsMaximized, use poDefault instead.

Nope, I hadn't tried that, but I will in a minute.  

Thanks!  (And by the way, Peter was right, I had Position = poScreenCenter, which
apparently interferes with Maximized)

Yep, Peter, you're absolutely right.  I'll switch the Position property and give it a
try.

Thanks, Brian
