Unmanaged Display Wrapper

Library wraps P/Invoke (platform invoke) unmanaged methods in c# class. It allows to manage the external and internal display. Currently it exposes methods to position screen on the right and left.

The main object of the library is the Displays it inherit from List<Display> and exposes 5 methods:

    public interface IDisplays     {         void LoadData();         void MoveExternalDisplayToRight();         void MoveExternalDisplayToLeft();         void MoveMainDisplayToLeft();         void MoveMainDisplayToRight();     }

All Move* methods before doing their thing are invoking the LoadData internally.

After calling LoadData details about display can be retrieved from the object.

Move* methods don’t return any information.

• What is the difference between moving external and main display?
• I don’t know. When I implemented moving main display my icons on the desktop were randomly moved, so I did also the external methods, which doesn’t have this drawback. Maybe if you will have 3 monitors some difference will occur.
