Display Device and its offset in pixels
Author
Hello,
I want to create a fullscreen window on a specific monitor for OpenGL. I know the specific device (got it from EnumDisplayDevices()). I can set the device to the right resulution that I want.
Now, when I create the window with CreateWindow(), how do I know the offset at which to place the window?
You can either use the dmPosition member of the DEVMODE structure you get from EnumDisplaySettings called with the ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS or ENUM_REGISTRY_SETTINGS flags set..
Or you can use EnumDisplayMonitors instead.
It will give you an HMONITOR value in the callback function you provide.
Use GetMonitorInfo on this handle value passing in a MONITORINFO or MONITORINFOEX structure. I use the EX version since it also contains a member for the Device name if you want to use EnumDisplayDevices or EnumDisplaySetting later on as usual.
The rcMonitor RECT member of the MONITORINFO structure contains the position values you need for the offset.
I use the EnumDisplayMonitors way currently due to the issues stated in a previous post by me: here
Hope it helps.
