  TCHAR szDevice [CCHDEVICENAME];
} MONITORINFOEX, *LPMONITORINFOEX;

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 it.

• rcMonitor
  RECT structure that specifies the screen rectangle, expressed in virtual screen coordinates.

• rcWork
  RECT structure that specifies the work area rectangle of the screen, expressed in virtual screen coordinates.

• dwFlags

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

• szDevice
  String that specifies the name of the screen. The name is not longer than 32 characters.
