Move a Lost, Off-Screen Window Back On Screen (using C#)

Have you ever lost track of an application’s window when it is displayed “off screen” (beyond the edges of your monitor) or stacked somewhere behind other windows, maybe on a second or third monitor? Well, with a few programming tricks you will never lose a window ever again.

In this video, I show how to write a simple windows manager using Microsoft Visual Studio and the C# language. Along the way, I’ll explain how to import functions from system libraries using DllImport or LibraryImport, how to find screens on multiple monitors, select a running application from a list and display its main window on a selected screen.

This is one of a number of C# programming projects in which I explain how tio write your own File Manager, Drag&Drop Program Manager and other useful tools. To follow my C# Programming Projects, view the playlist:
