Let me give that reply another retry.

I have used two monotors for abot two years. Tried three at one time was interesting but too much desk space and too far to drag the mouse from monitor 1 to 3.

I used win 98 for a while but received too many problems. I upgraded to Win2k the first day it hit the shelves in hopes that it would fix my Win 98 problems. It may have only because I had to upgrade my video cards to cards that were on the Hardwarelist. I do not know but I would not go back anyway.

You should not be jealous just set yourself up so you will not have to be. I promise you it is very much worth it. I use cooldesk on top of that. A virtual desktop. It is like having up to 9 pairs of two monitors. I run 3 sets. 1 set for development. 1 set for scratch work. 1 set for E Mail and browsing.

On Win2k you have what is a primary monitor. If you have more than one monitor then you have to designate one monitor as primary. On win 98 it figured this out for you. If you run VFP on the primary monitor, the popups and such act normal. If you do not they open up on the primary. VFP 7 Beta 1 does not take care of this. I am not sure of shipping release. A few other apps have some problems.

I have wanted to look into API stuff to see if I could control all of this. Have not yet.

Some of the VFP tools drag out of the main enviroment and work on the other monitor.

I think as time goes by all of this will shake out and everthing will work fine.

Hope this helps

>>Does VFP give the developer any control over displaying an app on two monitors? I've read that some people are using multiple monitors in development mode and I'm jealous <g> but the question is how to control it at runtime.

>>Some of my users are running my app on two monitors and they say that they don't like the behavior. They say that they right-click near the edge of one monitor and and the menu pops up on the other one, for instance. Do I have any control over such things? How does one address the coordinates of different monitors? Is it just an extension of the one coordinate system? Or how do I even know how many monitors the user has in order to determine where the boundary might be and how to deal with objects that span the boundary?
