Have a look at this API documentation page…

Can anyone explain to me the difference between the rcMonitor and rcWork components of the MONITORINFO structure? Although I’m happy with the idea that a window has areas you can’t work with (like the caption for instance), I don’t really see how this applies to monitors…

All contributions gratefully received…

    rcMonitor is the total resolution of the display

    rcWork is the max area you can use,eg if you went fullscreen maximized a window

    The work area is the portion of the
    screen not obscured by the system
    taskbar or by application desktop
    toolbars.
