How to locate my Windows Form always at the right lower corner?

softairhk

Hello! If I want to design my Windows Form always display at a fixed location, e.g. X=maximum, Y=maximum. That is the right lower corner of my Windows Form. So how to get the resolution setting of Windows, e.g. 800x600, 1024x768. Or any easier way to locate my Windows Form at the right lower corner of Windows? Please give me reply asap. Thanks!

You need to get the work area of your main monitor in c++ this is achieved with an api call to SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &r, 0); the rect structure &r will have the size of the screen minus the task bar or any other desktop tool bars.

Exercise: You need to research how you would do this in c#

Hi, I have used this part of the code and it works pretty well but the form is blocking the Start bar so the Task Bar cannot be seen when I have a loading bar or form showing in that part of the screen. Is there any way to also cut the part where the Start bar is? Thanks

Great Work John ..... Try the following code to your form onload function that will do the trick int x=int.Parse(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right.ToString()) -int.Parse(this.Size.Width.ToString()); int y=int.Parse(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Bottom.ToString()) -int.Parse(this.Size.Height.ToString()); this.Location=new System.Drawing.Point(x,y); thanks

Well, if I do this, I get the resolution of my desktop, so I figure from there, it's easy to do, just have to subtract the size the size of your form, and move it into the position and stuff: MessageBox.Show(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right.ToString() + " x " + Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Bottom.ToString()); John...
