Examples
The following code example shows how to use the FromPoint method. This example creates a Point referencing the X and Y coordinates passed by a MouseEventArgs, and then uses the FromPoint method to determine if the point clicked is on the primary screen.
private:
void Form1_MouseDown( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^ e )
{
Point p = Point(e->X,e->Y);
Screen^ s = Screen::FromPoint( p );
if ( s->Primary )
{
MessageBox::Show( "You clicked the primary screen" );
}
else
{
MessageBox::Show( "This isn't the primary screen" );
}
private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
Point p = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
Screen s = Screen.FromPoint(p);
if (s.Primary)
{
MessageBox.Show("You clicked the primary screen");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("This isn't the primary screen");
}
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
Dim p As New System.Drawing.Point(e.X, e.Y)
Dim s As System.Windows.Forms.Screen = Screen.FromPoint(p)
If s.Primary = True Then
MessageBox.Show("You clicked the primary screen")
Else
MessageBox.Show("This isn't the primary screen")
End If
End Sub
