T:Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayInformation |
winrt class |
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.
A DisplayInformation instance does not map to a specific display, but instead tracks display-related information for wherever the application view is placed. Calling GetForCurrentView will always return the single instance for the current thread's CoreApplicationView. An instance of DisplayInformation can only be used from the thread on which it was created.
To handle DisplayInformation events, use an event handler for the specific event. For example, for DisplayInformation.DpiChanged, use "TypedEventHandler<DisplayInformation, Object> DpiChanged."
Any property change event of DisplayInformation might trigger if your app is moved from one monitor to another monitor. ColorProfileChanged is triggered when the display’s color profile changes. DpiChanged is triggered when the LogicalDpi, ResolutionScale, and RawPixelsPerViewPixel properties change because a user selected a different zoom level or changed the screen resolution. OrientationChanged is triggered if a user changes the screen orientation.
