Display form in multiple screens

Display form in multiple screens

  OK, Thanks.

  I have assigned the workingarea.x value to left property of my form. But also, I need to establish the startposition to manual in orden to obtain the desired results.

  Take a look at the screen info available in the Screen class (from System.Windows.Forms).

  One example of this that ONLY works if your monitors are in a horizontal line next to each other is:

  int runningWidth = 0;
  Screen furthestLeft = Screen.PrimaryScreen;
  
  foreach (Screen screen in Screen.AllScreens)
  {
  //Count width of all screens - Assumes all are in a single horizontal line
  runningWidth += screen.WorkingArea.Width;
  
  //Determine which screen is the furthest to the left - Needed for determining forms start position
  if (furthestLeft.Bounds.X > screen.Bounds.X)
  {
  furthestLeft = screen;
  }
  }

  //Set form's position to upper left corner of furthest left monitor.
  this.Left = furthestLeft.WorkingArea.X;
  this.Top = furthestLeft.WorkingArea.Y;
  
  //Set forms size to width of avalible area and height of working area on primay monitor - Assumes taskbar is on primary monitor.
  this.Width = runningWidth;
  this.Height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height;

  If the monitors are in any other shape then you’d need to build a fair amount of logic to decide on which set of monitors the form would be displayed.

  Thaks for your response.

  This work fine, but is not my requirements.

  I need create two differents forms, and display one form in each monitor.

  I have tried assigning the width value of one monitor to left property of the second form, but both forms are displayed in primary monitor.

  Thanks

  Woops, I must have missed that part.

  In that case, use the WorkingArea property of the Screens class to give you the available sizes and locations for each form.
