|
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
|
|
|
|
## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
ControlMyMonitorManagement is a C# WPF desktop application for controlling monitor settings via DDC/CI (Display Data Channel/Command Interface). It allows controlling VCP (Virtual Control Panel) codes like brightness, contrast, and power state across multiple displays.
|
|
|
|
## Build Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build entire solution
|
|
dotnet build ControlMyMonitorManagement.sln
|
|
|
|
# Build specific project
|
|
dotnet build ControlMyMonitorManagement/ControlMyMonitorManagement.csproj
|
|
dotnet build DellMonitorControl/DellMonitorControl.csproj
|
|
|
|
# Run tests
|
|
dotnet test Tester/Tester.csproj
|
|
|
|
# Run main application
|
|
dotnet run --project ControlMyMonitorManagement/ControlMyMonitorManagement.csproj
|
|
|
|
# Run Dell-specific application
|
|
dotnet run --project DellMonitorControl/DellMonitorControl.csproj
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Solution Structure (7 Projects)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ControlMyMonitorManagement.sln
|
|
├── ControlMyMonitorManagement # Main WPF UI application
|
|
├── DellMonitorControl # Dell-specific WPF app with system tray
|
|
├── Library # Core business logic and monitor control
|
|
├── CMMModel # Data models for monitor status/VCP codes
|
|
├── CMMService # Service layer (Interface/, Service/)
|
|
├── Language # Localization support (CulturesHelper)
|
|
└── Tester # NUnit test project
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Key Components in Library Project
|
|
|
|
- **Method/CMMMgr.cs** - Main manager class, initializes monitor collection
|
|
- **Method/CMMCommand.cs** - Core monitor control commands (PowerOn, Sleep, SetBrightness, SetContrast, SetInputSource, etc.)
|
|
- **ViewModel/XMonitor.cs** - Monitor data model (device name, adapter, serial number)
|
|
- **ViewModel/XMonitorStatus.cs** - VCP feature status (code, value, max)
|
|
- **WinAPI/Win32Api.cs** - Windows API interop for DDC/CI commands
|
|
- **Config/Config.cs** - JSON configuration management
|
|
- **Helpers/ConsoleHelper.cs** - Process wrapper for cmd.exe commands
|
|
|
|
### VCP Codes Reference
|
|
|
|
Common VCP codes used in this project:
|
|
- **D6** (Power): 1=on, 4=sleep, 5=off
|
|
- **10** (Brightness): 0-100
|
|
- **12** (Contrast): 0-100
|
|
- **60** (Input Source): 1=VGA, 3=DVI, 15=DisplayPort, 17=HDMI
|
|
|
|
## Localization
|
|
|
|
Supports 9 languages with auto-detection from system locale:
|
|
- English (en), Spanish (es), French (fr), German (de)
|
|
- Chinese (zh), Japanese (ja), Portuguese (pt), Italian (it), Hindi (hi)
|
|
|
|
Resource files: `Language/StringResources.{locale}.xaml`
|
|
Helper: `Language/CulturesHelper.cs` - call `ApplySystemLanguage()` on startup
|
|
|
|
### Embedded Resource
|
|
|
|
`Library/Resource/ControlMyMonitor.exe` - Third-party tool (by Nir Sofer) embedded for DDC/CI operations
|
|
|
|
## Patterns Used
|
|
|
|
- **MVVM** - PropertyBase class implements INotifyPropertyChanged
|
|
- **Async/Await** - Monitor scanning operations are async
|
|
- **Dependency Injection** - Used in DellMonitorControl for configuration
|
|
|
|
## Target Framework
|
|
|
|
.NET 7.0-windows with WPF (UseWPF=true)
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
Dynamic version format: `Major.Minor.DaysSinceProjectStart.HourMinutes`
|
|
- Main app project start: 2017-09-17
|
|
- DellMonitorControl start: 2023-07-02
