How to put MFC View full screen on second monitor?
-
Could someone give me a hint on how I could show one view full screen on a second monitor while the app with all the navigation pane, toolbars, menus, etc. stays on the main monitor? Ideally, this would just be a second view opened for the current document that can escape the apps frame and go over to the other monitor and make itself full screen. I've considered just using a second app with sockets for communications between the two apps. I've considered using a secondary GUI thread with a CWnd derived object that is sort of operating outside of MFC's doc/view architecture.

It's quite a good question! I think there's an article in it somewhere! Iain.
I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww). If you're in Scandinavia and want an MVP on the payroll (or happy with a remote worker), or need cotract work done, give me a job! http://cv.imcsoft.co.uk/[^]
