 |
|
I want to place the form at the right bottom corner of the screen when I
launch my program, independent of the actual screen size and resolution.
However, the TCustomForm::Position only has propertied like { poDesigned,
poDefault, poDefaultPosOnly, poDefaultSizeOnly, poScreenCenter,
poDesktopCenter, poMainFormCenter, poOwnerFormCenter }.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Move the form manually after it has been created:
Form->Left = (Screen->Width - Form->Width);
Form->Top = (Screen->Height - Form->Height);
That displays the form on the primary monitor in a multi-monitor system. If
you want to display the form on a different monitor then do the following
instead:
TRect R;
if( Screen->MonitorCount > 0 )
{
TMonitor *Monitor = Screen->Monitors[SomeIndex];
R = Rect(Monitor->Left, Monitor->Top, Monitor->Left +
Monitor->Width, Monitor->Top + Monitor->Height);
}
else
R = Rect(0, 0, Screen->Width, Screen->Height);
Form->Left = (R.Right - Form->Width);
Form->Top = (R.Bottom - Form->Height);
You may also want to take the taskbar and user-defined appbars into account
as well:
RECT R;
if( Screen->MonitorCount > 0 )
{
MONITORINFO Info = {sizeof(MONITORINFO), 0};
::GetMonitorInfo(Screen->Monitors[SomeIndex]->Handle, &Info);
R = Info.rcWork;
}
else
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &R, 0);
Form->Left = (R.right - Form->Width);
Form->Top = (R.bottom - Form->Height);
