In this example, you change the form's start position to the center of the screen and display the position information using a label. This example assumes that you have already created a Form named Form1
.
public:
void InitMyForm()
{
// Adds a label to the form.
Label^ label1 = gcnew Label;
label1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 54, 128 );
label1->Name = "label1";
label1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 220, 80 );
label1->Text = "Start position information";
this->Controls->Add( label1 );
// Moves the start position to the center of the screen.
StartPosition = FormStartPosition::CenterScreen;
// Displays the position information.
label1->Text = String::Format( "The start position is {0}", StartPosition );
}
public void InitMyForm()
{
// Adds a label to the form.
Label label1 = new Label();
label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(54, 128);
label1.Name = "label1";
label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(220, 80);
label1.Text = "Start position information";
this.Controls.Add(label1);
// Moves the start position to the center of the screen.
StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
// Displays the position information.
label1.Text = "The start position is " + StartPosition;
}
Public Sub InitMyForm()
' Adds a label to the form.
Dim label1 As New Label()
label1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(54, 128)
label1.Name = "label1"
label1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(220, 80)
label1.Text = "Start position information"
Me.Controls.Add(label1)
' Moves the start position to the center of the screen.
StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
' Displays the position information.
label1.Text = "The start position is " + StartPosition
End Sub
