Screen::PrimaryScreen Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets the primary display.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
For a single display system, the primary display is the only display.
The following code example demonstrates the use of PrimaryScreen property and the GetWorkingArea method. This method requires a form containing a button named Button1.
// This method will adjust the size of the form to utilize // the working area of the screen. private: void Button1_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { // Retrieve the working rectangle from the Screen class // using the PrimaryScreen and the WorkingArea properties. System::Drawing::Rectangle workingRectangle = Screen::PrimaryScreen->WorkingArea; // Set the size of the form slightly less than size of // working rectangle. this->Size = System::Drawing::Size( workingRectangle.Width - 10, workingRectangle.Height - 10 ); // Set the location so the entire form is visible. this->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 5, 5 ); }
