Can I display my laptop screen on my monitor and charge my laptop with the same cable using these?

ThinkPad USB-C with USB-A. Dell Latitude 5430. Samsung F24T452F 24 (doesn't have a USB-C port). ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A.

Not all notebooks with USB-C ports can take charging over them, and not all USB-C ports support video out.  If you want an answer, you'll need to provide the notebook system model.

@ejn63​ I had issues describing the problem due to the character limit.

A quick reading of the monitor specs show HDMI and DP inputs -- you will need a separate cable for that (beyond the one that connects the notebook to the docking station, which should serve as the charge cable as well).

The cable charges the laptop when connected to the USB-C port at the front of the dock. The cable displays my laptop screen on my monitor when connected to the USB-C port at the back of the dock. The dock is connected to the monitor via HDMI. I don't have a DisplayPort to USB-C cable. Perhaps I should get one and see if that would display my laptop screen on my monitor and charge my laptop simultaneously.

I bought a DisplayPort to USB-C cable. It displays my laptop screen on my monitor, but doesn't charge my laptop.
