The following code example shows how to use the FromPoint method. This example creates a Point referencing the X and Y coordinates passed by a MouseEventArgs, and then uses the FromPoint method to determine if the point clicked is on the primary screen.
private: void Form1_MouseDown( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^ e ) { Point p = Point(e->X,e->Y); Screen^ s = Screen::FromPoint( p ); if ( s->Primary ) { MessageBox::Show( "You clicked the primary screen" ); } else { MessageBox::Show( "This isn't the primary screen" ); }
