I have my WPF xaml as follows

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Window1" Width="763" Height="950" ResizeMode="NoResize" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
"224" Width="Auto">
"Checkbox1" Width="100px" Height="25px" Content="Checkbox" Margin="90,-120,567,319"/>
"Checkbox2" Height="25px" Content="Checkbox1" Margin="178,-120,457,319"/>
"Checkbox3" Width="Auto" Content="Checkbox2" Margin="296,-120,309,319"/>
"Checkbox4" Width="Auto" Content="Checkbox3" Margin="420,-120,213,319"/>
"grp1" Header="Group1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="92,56,0,98" Width="590" Height="70" IsEnabled="False">
"grp2" Header="Group2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="92,136,0,18" Width="590" Height="70" IsEnabled="False">

I have written as follows to center the screen

But in my laptop it is going to the top so that few controls not getting visible so can some one help me to center on any screen resolution

Accepted answer
Set the form height to 760 and make the form scrollable then run the application.

Can I have an example which will center the screen on 1024*768 resolution as per the requirement

Window height is larger than the screen height, reduce the height of the window upto or less than the height of screen. The code implemented now is still showing the form in center of the screen. However, the only issue is with the larger height or make responsive form that can fit in most of the screen and capture the entire window with its control

Go to the properties and set the property to center fit it.

2 options:

1) code behind

private void CenterWindowOnScreen()

{ double screenWidth = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth;

double screenHeight = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight;

 double windowWidth = this.Width;

double windowHeight = this.Height;

this.Left = (screenWidth / 2) - (windowWidth / 2);

 this.Top = (screenHeight / 2) - (windowHeight / 2); }

2) In design view

Select the window and set the property of windowstartupLocation to CenterScreen.

Don't center the window by using ActualWidth property.

Do let me know if it solves your problem
