Splash Screen in WPF two monitors

votes

I am developing a WPF application. I am using two monitors. I am using splash screen to pop up on window when some function is executing.

The problem I have is when I move the application to secondary monitor and start processing functions splash screen is still being displayed in primary monitor instead on secondary monitor.

Any help on this?

Probably best to post your code. – Ben Robinson
Splash screen is not the appropiate solution for this. Use a regular window and set the MainWindow as it's Owner. – Federico Berasategui
The question doesn't quite make sense to me. A "splash screen" is a window that only shows during an application's startup. Do you mean a progress or "please wait" window? – klugerama
Adding some kind of screenshot/example/code would be helpful for us to help you diagnose your problem. – Tyler
It's my bad I'm using splash screen for my entire application. Now I am popping up a new window to display busy indicator inside my application. Thanks for your replies. – user1118468

you can try for BusyIndicator if suitable for you or else you can try below code to show Splash Window.

 void TemplateSelector_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            showWin();

            Thread.Sleep(10000);


            CloseWin();

        }

        private void CloseWin()
        {
            WindowManager.Close();
        }
        Window tempWindow = new Window();
        public void showWin()
        {
            WindowManager.LaunchWindowNewThread<SplashWindow>();

        }
    }

    public class WindowManager
    {
        private static Window win;
        public static void LaunchWindowNewThread<T>() where T : Window, new()
        {
            Thread newWindowThread = new Thread(ThreadStartingPoint);
            newWindowThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
            newWindowThread.IsBackground = true;

            Func<Window> f = delegate
            {
                T win = new T();
                return win;
            };

            newWindowThread.Start(f);
        }

        private static void ThreadStartingPoint(object t)
        {
            Func<Window> f = (Func<Window>)t;
            win = f();

            win.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterScreen;
            win.Topmost = true;
            win.Show();
            Dispatcher.Run();
        }
        public static void Close()
        {

            if (win != null)
                win.Dispatcher.BeginInvokeShutdown(DispatcherPriority.Send);

        }
    }
