MONITORINFO structure (winuser.h)

The MONITORINFO structure contains information about a display monitor.

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

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

Syntax

typedef struct tagMONITORINFO {
  DWORD cbSize;
  RECT  rcMonitor;
  RECT  rcWork;
  DWORD dwFlags;
} MONITORINFO, *LPMONITORINFO;

Members

cbSize

The size of the structure, in bytes.

Set this member to sizeof ( MONITORINFO ) 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.
