POIs there a workaround for the form dimensions forced to be <= screen dimensions limitation of windows forms applications?

Body
copied!<p>I once wrote an app that could display photographs. I am trying to re-write it in Visual Studio with C# and give it new features. The application I am writing now does use scroll bars to facilitate viewing an over-sized image. The previous app would fill the form area with the image and you could drag and hold the mouse to move it about on the screen. If the image was bigger than the screen you'd simply move it about to view previously hidden areas. By making the form the same size as the image it was very elegant way of dealing with the 'problem' of viewing an image that is bigger than your screen dimensions.</p> <p>The advantage of this over putting the image inside a statically re-sizable form with scroll-bars was that the image would fill the available screen space, and if the next image in the sequence (it is a browser that allows you to cycle through images) was small, the image app would only take up as much space as the image. You could easily move it to one side. You didn't have to manually resize the form that was displaying it to make room for other applications.</p> <p>I am unable to implement the same feature in the new app because Visual Studio won't let me dynamically re-size the form to be taller or wider than the screen.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a plugin or workaround to override this limitation?</p> <p>I am open to suggestions to achieve the same goal, but I would still like to know if this limitation can be turned off, perhaps with a plugin or in code somehow. Below is a link to a video of the previous incarnation of the app, demonstrating the behavior I want to acheive by being able to set the form size larger than the screen dimensions...</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> A demo of the the previous application - and the behavior I want to implement...</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/J16EwuozvbQ" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/J16EwuozvbQ</a></p>
