Alert Position on Dual Monitor Setup

[Florian]

Hello,

i am using RadDesktopAlert in my WPF Application on a dual monitor setup. 

I define the alert desktop position by setting the AlertScreenPosition.TopRight parameter.

The alert shows fine however, if my application is on the left monitor because of its StartUpLocation, the alert still shows on my main monitor.

I can't find a property to tell the alert to show on the monitor which contains the mouse. I hope this is possible and you can help me.

Regards,

Florian Meißner

Hello Florian,

Instead of using one of the predefined positions of RadDesktopAlert you could use the ScreenPositionOffset  parameter of the DesktopAlertManager constructor to visualize RadDesktopAlert on the needed position.

For some more detailed information concerning the DesktopAlertManger, please check the following article:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/raddesktopalert/desktop-alert-manager

We also suggest you to check the following sample project from our SDK Repository that demonstrates how you can easily visualize RadDesktopAlert  withing the application using the ScreenPositionOffset:
https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/tree/master/DesktopAlert/DesktopAlertWithScreenPositionOffset

Hope this helps.

Hello Nasko,

the Github sample you provided is very helpful, thank you!

I am now showing the alert relatively to my application, which is a much better approach with a multiple monitor setup.

Thanks for the help.
