Drawing Window on Second Display...?

What OS are you using? With XP, I've never encountered this problem. In fact, I have the opposite problem--when I take my laptop somewhere, many apps end up opening up off-screen because that's where the they were last on the now disconnected second monitor! Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing

well, i´m using WinXP,SP2 German.but it should also work on win2kpro german. but normally displays won´t get disconnected. is it possible to select explicitely which of the connected displays to use showing forms? i know its possible to enumerate connected displays via native call EnumDisplayMonitors(NULL, NULL, MyInfoEnumProc, 0); but i didn´t get it to work by now via native calls. i wonder if there is possibility to do it with just .NET

I'm not aware of any .NET classes that deal with multiple monitors. You might want to look at this though: http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/[^] It has [edit] an SDK with [/edit] source code, but not .NET, unless someone has ported it. Still, it might give you some information as to the underlying API's and tricks to use. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing
