Vault C# WPF multiple screen issue

[Anonymous]

I have a Vault WPF .NET C# plugin which opens a wpf window.

Now the issue is when multiple screens are connected.

WPF plugin opens only in the primary screen. not on he screen where vault is open.

Example,

Screen 1 is primary screen

Screen 2 is where vault client is open

When the plugin is fired it always opens in screen 1.

I want the plugin to open on the same screen where Vault client is open.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

i think the solution is to set the Vault Client as Parent window for your WPF window.

You can achieve this by getting the MainWindowHandle from your current process (which is Vault becuause you have a Vault Addin) and then setting the Owner for your window.

Example:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Interop;

var myWindow = new Window(); //Your WPF window
var vaultHwnd = Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle; //Vault window handle
new WindowInteropHelper(myWindow) { Owner = vaultHwnd };
myWindow.ShowDialog();

Additionally i would suggest to set the WindowsStartupLocation in your WPF Window to CenterOwner.

Set this in your Window.xaml : 

WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner"
