Process.Start and Dual Monitors

Question

Hi, if I'm using Process.Start to open a file from a C# WinForms app, is there any way to control which monitor the pdf (or whatever) opens in?

Answer 1

You'll need to do two things: get the window handle of the application (e.g. Acrobat Reader for a PDF) then move it to the monitor you want and Maximize.
