MONITORINFOEX

Description

The MONITORINFOEX structure contains information about a display monitor.

The GetMonitorInfo function stores information into a MONITORINFOEX structure or a MONITORINFO structure.

The MONITORINFOEX structure is a superset of the MONITORINFO structure. The MONITORINFOEX structure adds a string member to contain a name for the display monitor.

C++ Syntax

typedef struct tagMONITORINFOEX {

DWORD cbSize;

Members

cbSize

The size of the structure, in bytes.

Set the cbSize member to SIZEOF ( MONITORINFOEX ) before calling the GetMonitorInfo function. Doing so lets the function determine the type of structure you are passing to it.

rcMonitor

A RECT structure that specifies the display monitor rectangle, expressed in virtual-screen coordinates. Note that if the monitor is not the primary display monitor, some of the rectangle's coordinates may be negative values.

rcWork

A RECT structure that specifies the work area rectangle of the display monitor, expressed in virtual-screen coordinates. Note that if the monitor is not the primary display monitor, some of the rectangle's coordinates may be negative values.

dwFlags

A set of flags that represent attributes of the display monitor.

The following flag is defined.

Value	Meaning
MONITORINFOF_PRIMARY	This is the primary display monitor.

szDevice

A string that specifies the device name of the monitor being used. Most applications have no use for a display monitor name, and so can save some bytes by using a MONITORINFO structure.
