I have two displays. I want to make a media player and I want to play video full screen on my secondary display. So I’m trying to make a media player using WPF
Here is the code so far I wrote
Screen[] _screens = Screen.AllScreens;
System.Drawing.Rectangle ractagle = _screens[1].Bounds;
//player is my window
player.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
player.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
player.Left = ractagle.X;
player.Top = ractagle.Y;
// MediaControl is an media elements
MediaControl.Height = ractagle.Height;
MediaControl.Width = ractagle.Width;
But somehow it’s just playing on my first display. Any kind of help is very much appreciated.
You need to make sure that the WindowStartupLocation
is set to Manual
for the form you are displaying
Otherwise nothing you do will have any effect on the position of the window.
using System.Windows.Forms;
// reference System.Drawing
//
Screen s = Screen.AllScreens[1];
System.Drawing.Rectangle r = s.WorkingArea;
Me.Top = r.Top;
Me.Left = r.Left;
This header of the XAML of the Window I used.
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="823" WindowStartupLocation="Manual">
<Canvas Width="743">
//Controls etc
</Canvas>
</Window>
