Minimum Screen Size To Design For<\/h4>\n

Netbooks often use 1024 x 600 screen resolution.
\nWindows 7 taskbar is 40 pixels high (?), however a netbook user is likely to set the taskbar to auto hide.<\/p>\n

Single Monitor Systems<\/h4>\n
\r\n\tint height = Screen::PrimaryScreen->Bounds.Height;\r\n\tint width = Screen::PrimaryScreen->Bounds.Width;\r\n\r\n\tScreen ^PrimaryScreen = Screen::PrimaryScreen;\r\n\tthis->Width = PrimaryScreen->WorkingArea.Width;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Multiple Monitor Systems<\/h4>\n
\r\n\tint monitors = Screen::AllScreens->Length;\r\n\tint height = Screen::AllScreens[0]->Bounds.Height;\r\n\tint width = Screen::AllScreens[0]->Bounds.Width;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Get The Current Screen Details – The Screen A Form Is On<\/h5>\n
\r\n\tScreen ^OurScreen = Screen::FromControl(this);\r\n\tint height = OurScreen->Bounds.Height;\r\n\tint width = OurScreen->Bounds.Width;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Coordinates \/ Determining Screen Used<\/h4>\n
Top left of the primary screen is 0,0
\nIf there are multiple monitors and a screen is to the left then its Left coordiante will be negative.
\nTherefore this makes it simple to ensure that your applicaiton appears on a primary monitor or to detect if you application is on a seconday monitor (Left < 0 or Left > Primary screen width)<\/p>\n
