Showing a window with WPF, Winforms, and Dual monitors

Question

I have a 2 monitors and a WinForm app that launches a WPF window. I want to get the screen that the WinForm is on, and show the WPF window on the same screen. How can I do

Answer 1

You should be able to use System.Windows.Forms.Screen [1], and use the FromControl method to get the screen info for the form. You can then use this for positioning the WPF window (top, left) based on the screen you are trying to locate it on.

[1] You can also use the win32 MonitorFromRect et al, if you don't to load the WinForms dlls. However, since you've already got the winforms API, you're not going to pay any memory/perf hit.
