Windows.Graphics.Display Namespace

Contains components to determine aspects of a physical display.

Classes

AdvancedColorInfo	Contains a snapshot of the Advanced Color-related information of a monitor or display driver.
BrightnessOverride	BrightnessOverride allows your application to override the screen brightness level that's set for the device. With this API, you can have per-application brightness controls on devices that support controllable brightness. You can use BrightnessOverride to override the user's brightness level setting either temporarily or permanently. Note When you first retrieve an initialized BrightnessOverride object from GetDefaultForSystem or from GetForCurrentView, the value of that object's BrightnessLevel property is undefined (the value doesn't, for example, represent the current system brightness level). You need to first call SetBrightnessLevel to set a brightness level.
BrightnessOverrideSettings	Contains the settings to use when overriding the screen brightness with DisplayEnhancementOverride on a device.
ColorOverrideSettings	Contains the settings to use when overriding the screen color settings with DisplayEnhancementOverride on a device.
DisplayEnhancementOverride	Contains the base features that describe how to override setting displays.
DisplayEnhancementOverrideCapabilities	Describes the capabilities of a display enhancement override object.
DisplayEnhancementOverrideCapabilitiesChangedEventArgs	Provides the arguments returned by the event raised when the display enhancement override changes.
DisplayInformation	Monitors and controls display-related information for an application view. The class provides events to allow clients to monitor for changes in the application view affecting which display(s) the view resides on, as well as changes in displays that can affect the application view.
DisplayProperties	Note DisplayProperties may be altered or unavailable for releases after Windows 8.1. Instead, use DisplayInformation. Provides various properties that are related to the physical display. For most of these properties, the class provides events to allow clients to monitor for changes in the properties.
DisplayServices	Represents display-related service methods, such as finding devices.

Structs

NitRange

Describes the minimum, maximum, and step size you can use when using nits to describe brightness on a device.

Enums

AdvancedColorKind	Describes what kind of Advanced Color the display supports.
DisplayBrightnessOverrideOptions	Describes the options that modify the brightness level of the screen during the override session. When UseDimmedPolicyWhenBatteryIsLow is set, it reduces the specified override brightness level in order to conserve battery if the device battery is low during the override session. For example, if the override brightness level is set to 100% and UseDimmedPolicyWhenBatteryIsLow is set, the screen will dim to 70% instead.
DisplayBrightnessOverrideScenario	Represents the brightness scenarios that a BrightnessOverrideSettings object can request.
DisplayBrightnessScenario	Describes common brightness scenarios that have well-known brightness levels. These scenarios are used in the GetLevelForScenario() and SetBrightnessScenario() methods.
DisplayColorOverrideScenario	Represents the color scenarios that a ColorOverrideSettings object can request.
DisplayOrientations	Describes the orientation of a rectangular monitor.
HdrMetadataFormat	Describes the HDR metadata format.
ResolutionScale	Describes the scale factor of the app window. The scale factor is determined by the operating system in response to high pixel density screens.

Delegates

DisplayPropertiesEventHandler

Note The DisplayProperties type and related event handlers may be altered or unavailable for releases after Windows 8.1. Instead, use DisplayInformation. Represents a method that handles display property events.
