How to center a WPF app on screen?

I want to center my WPF app on startup on the primary screen. I know I have to set myWindow.Left and myWindow.Top, but where do I get the values?

I found System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen, which is apparently not WPF. Is there a WPF alternative that gives me the screen resolution or something like that?

Solution

  • Put this in your window constructor

    WindowStartupLocation = System.Windows.WindowStartupLocation.CenterScreen;
