WPF center screen issues

Oct 29 2016 3:15 AM
I have my WPF xaml as follows

  1. <Window  
  2.         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"  
  3.         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  
  4.         xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"  
  5.         xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"  
  6.         xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WPFApp1"  
  7.         xmlns:Usercontrols="clr-namespace:WPFApp1.Usercontrols" x:Class="WPFApp1.Window1"  
  8.         mc:Ignorable="d"  
  9.         Title="Window1" Width="763" Height="950" ResizeMode="NoResize" Loaded="Window_Loaded">  
  10.     <Grid Height="224" Width="Auto">  
  11.           
  12.         <CheckBox x:Name="Checkbox1" Width="100px" Height="25px" Content="Checkbox" Margin="90,-120,567,319"/>  
  13.         <CheckBox x:Name="Checkbox2" Height="25px" Content="Checkbox1"  Margin="178,-120,457,319"/>  
  14.         <CheckBox x:Name="Checkbox3" Width="Auto" Content="Checkbox2"  Margin="296,-120,309,319"/>  
  15.         <CheckBox x:Name="Checkbox4" Width="Auto" Content="Checkbox3"  Margin="420,-120,213,319"/>  
  16.           
  17.         <GroupBox Name="grp1" Header="Group1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="92,56,0,98" Width="590" Height="70" IsEnabled="False">  
  18.               
  19.         </GroupBox>  
  20.         <GroupBox Name="grp2" Header="Group2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="92,136,0,18" Width="590" Height="70" IsEnabled="False">  
  21.               
  22.         </GroupBox>  
  23.           
  24.     </Grid>  
  25. </Window>  
  26.   
 I have written as follows to center the screen
  1. double width = window.ActualWidth;  
  2.             double height = window.ActualHeight;  
  3.    
  4.             if (m_firstTime) // First time ActualWidth and ActualHeight is not set  
  5.             {  
  6.                 if (!Double.IsNaN(window.Width)) { width = window.Width; }  
  7.                 if (!Double.IsNaN(window.Height)) { height = window.Height; }  
  8.    
  9.                 m_firstTime = false;  
  10.             }  
  11.    
  12.             // Set Left and Top manually and calculate center of screen.  
  13.             window.Left = (SystemParameters.WorkArea.Width - width) / 2   
  14.                 + SystemParameters.WorkArea.Left;  
  15.             window.Top = (SystemParameters.WorkArea.Height - height) / 2  
  16.                 + SystemParameters.WorkArea.Top;  
  17.   
 But in my laptop it is going to the top so that few controls not getting visible so can some one help me to center on any screen resolution
