How to get the position of a Windows Form on the screen?

Question

I am coding a WinForms application in Visual Studio C# 2010 and I want to find out the location of the upper left corner of the WinForm window (the starting location of the window).

How can I do that?

Answer 1

If you are accessing it from within the form itself then you can write

int windowHeight = this.Height;
int windowWidth = this.Width;

to get the width and height of the window. And

int windowTop = this.Top; 
int windowLeft = this.Left;

To get the screen position.

Otherwise, if you launch the form and are accessing it from another form

int w, h, t, l;
using (Form form = new Form())
{
    form.Show();
    w = form.Width;
    h = form.Height;
    t = form.Top;
    l = form.Left;
}

I hope this helps.
