WPF C# Make window's the same width as the screen
-
Hi! I am trying to make a window that when it starts, takes up the entire width of the screen, regardless of resolution. I have tried to set the Width to 100% and to bind it to the primary screen width
Width="{Binding SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth}">
But neither worked :(. Anyone have any idea on how to do it?
Have a nice day

Try:
Width="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth}}"

Hi! SO close :) It gives a very small gap between the screen edge and the window. I took a screenshot of the screen so that I could zoom in and check how many pixels there was between the window and the screen. It's around 8 pixels gap on the right side. And even if I set Left and Top to 0, I get one pixel from the top and 8 from the Left. Here is the XML code for the window that I have now:
I would want it go to to the edge and there to be no gaps. Thanks for the help so far :)

Create a (dummy) maximized window in the background and copy it's properties (e.g. width) to your actual "centered" window.

I was about to try Gerry's suggestion when I decided to test retriving the screen width with code and set the window size to it. It worked, but I wonder, is there not a way to do this without using code in WPF? Here is the code I used if someone is interested:
this.Width = System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth+2;
Note that +2 is there since the Windows Left parameter in the XML are set to -2, had to compensate for that or I get a small gap to the right. I put it right below the "InitializeComponent();" call.

If you want to perform mathematical functions on the bound value, you'll need a converter - for example: GitHub - hexinnovation/MathConverter: A WPF Converter class that does it all[^]
