Members

• cbSize
  DWORD that contains the size of the structure, in bytes. Set the cbSize member to the value obtained by calling the sizeof operator for this structure before you call the GetMonitorInfofunction. Setting cbSize allows GetMonitorInfo determine the type of structure you are passing to GetMonitorInfo.

• rcWork

  Value	Description
  0	This screen is not the primary screen.
  MONITORINFOF_PRIMARY	This screen is the primary screen.

Remarks
