Hi All,

I want to perform some operation when our application window is moved from primary screen to secondary screen.I tried the following code also

C#

System.Windows.Forms.Screen screen = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.FromRectangle(new System.Drawing.Rectangle((int)this.Left, (int)this.Top, (int)this.Width, (int)this.Height));
               if (!screen.Primary)
               {
                   this.MaxHeight = screen.WorkingArea.Height + 2;
               }

But it doesn't work when window in mouse focus during the movement of our application window from primary screen to secondary screen.

So please help me on this

Thanks,
Rajkumar

If you don't do anything then Windows will limit the size of the application to the screen on which it is is mainly displayed thus to me, it seems to be useless to track this...

And by the way, why are you checking if the form is not on the primary screen? It is a really weird requirement.

It does not make much sense to do something that goes against the way the system usually works for most applications. If you don't know what you are doing, then it will probably be bugged in some cases or don't work as expected in some configurations...

If you need more control than what .NET offers, then you have to go to the API level. I don't think that it worth the effort. Try how other applications work in that case.
