A place out of view
-
I was doing something with a Windows Forms application and noticed that when the main form is minimized, its Left and Top properties are both -32000. That's way out of view of a normal system. Why does it do that? I wonder if anyone has a system with high enough resolution to make one of the monitors display stuff in that location. Just curious.

Did it show up your neighbor's screen?

I did not hear screaming from the neighbors. Maybe the window was too small and they did not have glasses on.

A known issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1478765/location-coordinates-on-computer-showing-x-32000-y-32000[^] And, I think that the minimized state does this because the coords are basically "non-existent" when the window is minimized. It could even be the way that the window is "hidden" when minimized. Meaning that Windows itself considers the window to be at -32000, -32000 in order to hide it to fulfill the functionality that the window is minimized. You know? Meaning that they just throw the window off-screen and show you an icon on the navbar. That may be "how window minimize is done" as a "trick".

That is about the time you realize you need glasses - to view what seems to ne out of scope to what is really visible - me being an old grump wearing glasses :) :laugh:
