hi guys,
I need to develop an application that handles both exits of video of my PC. The idea is that on having initiated the application the principal form executes in the exit of principal video of the system and that send another form to the secondary video exit.

thanks!!

Hello,

you can do this by using the Screen class.

To make sure your principal form opens on the first screen:

C#

static void Main()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    var form1 = new Form1();
    form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
    form1.Location = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Location;
    Application.Run(form1);
}

To open your second form on the secondary screen (or any other if more than 2):

C#

int screenToUse = 1;
Screen[] screens = Screen.AllScreens;
var form2 = new Form2();
form2.Location = screens[screenToUse].WorkingArea.Location;
form2.Show();
