Multiple monitor management

Introduction

This code is a simple test to move a Windows Forms application to anywhere in a multiple monitor environment.

Using the code

At application startup, the program takes the screen names.

for (int i = 0; i < Screen.AllScreens.Length; i++)
{
    cbMonitor_id.Items.Add(Screen.AllScreens[i].DeviceName);
}

You can put any location (CoodX-CoordY) and the desired screen, then when you press the button, the application executes.

SetMonitor(this, ((cbMonitor_id.SelectedIndex>-1)?cbMonitor_id.SelectedIndex:0), 
   System.Convert.ToInt32(edCoordX.Text), System.Convert.ToInt32(edCoordY.Text));

And here is the display code:

void SetMonitor(Form form, int monitor_id, int x, int y)
{
    Screen screen = Screen.AllScreens[monitor_id];
    // Set the StartPosition to Manual otherwise
    // the system will assign an automatic start position
    form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
    // Set the form location so it appears at Location (x, y)
    // on the screen monitor_id
    x = screen.Bounds.Location.X + x;
    y = screen.Bounds.Location.Y + y;
    form.Location = new Point(x,y);
    // Show the form
    form.Show();
}
