AppBar Multi-Monitor
I created a simple appBar with a shortcut at the top of the screen that shrinks the desktop, but I'm having trouble showing it up on my second monitor. I searched, but all I found was for WPF. These are most likely the areas where I made the mistake, but if there is any other code that you need to see, just let me know.
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(SystemInformation.WorkingArea.Width, -1);
this.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow;
this.Name = "MainForm";
this.Text = "AppBar";
this.Closing += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(this.OnClosing);
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.OnLoad);
this.BackColor = Color.Green;
this.Padding = new Padding(0, 0, 0, 0);
Label label1 = new Label();
label1.Text = "TEXT";
label1.Width = 270;
label1.Margin = new Padding(0,0,0,0);
label1.Padding = new Padding(0,0,0,0);
label1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
label1.ForeColor = Color.White;
label1.Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 12,FontStyle.Regular);
label1.Location = new Point((SystemInformation.WorkingArea.Width - 270) / 2, 0);
this.Controls.Add(label1);
}
private void ABSetPos()
{
APPBARDATA abd = new APPBARDATA();
abd.cbSize = Marshal.SizeOf(abd);
abd.hWnd = this.Handle;
abd.uEdge = (int)ABEdge.ABE_TOP;
if (abd.uEdge == (int)ABEdge.ABE_LEFT || abd.uEdge == (int)ABEdge.ABE_RIGHT)
{
abd.rc.top = 0;
abd.rc.bottom = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height;
if (abd.uEdge == (int)ABEdge.ABE_LEFT)
{
abd.rc.left = 0;
abd.rc.right = Size.Width;
}
else
{
abd.rc.right = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width;
abd.rc.left = abd.rc.right - Size.Width;
}
}
else
{
abd.rc.left = 0;
abd.rc.right = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width;
if (abd.uEdge == (int)ABEdge.ABE_TOP)
{
abd.rc.top = 0;
abd.rc.bottom = Size.Height;
}
else
{
abd.rc.bottom = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height;
abd.rc.top = abd.rc.bottom - Size.Height;
}
}

You can use another screen, iterate over the array Screen.AllScreens
. For example, this is how you get your first non-primary monitor:
Screen nonPrimaryScreen = Screen.AllScreens.FirstOrDefault(x => !x.Primary);
Then wherever you use SystemInformation.WorkingArea
(which always uses the main screen) you can use:
nonPrimaryScreen.WorkingArea
Assuming nonPrimaryScreen != null
... of course.
EDIT:
Instead of duplicating your code, make it more general:
public static Rectangle GetWorkingArea() {
if (UseWantsItOnPrimaryScreen) {
return SystemInformation.WorkingArea;
}
else {
return Screen.AllScreens.FirstOrDefault(x => !x.Primary).WorkingArea;
}
}
