How exactly would I make both of my monitors go to sleep, I want to write an application myself because I'd like to add certain functionality, and so far I can't find anything on MSDN relating to making your display go to sleep. ...
I'm writing a Silverlight application that can go "full screen" (think YouTube full screen). This is simple enough. However, I want to offer the user the ability to KEEP the app full screen even if they click away. My users have multiple monitors and so it doesn't always make sense to shrink the app back into the browser. At present, if...
I am writing an application where it would be helpful to automatically switch between having Windows XP's desktop in dualview or cloned. The application uses a small wxWidgets window for the GUI. It would be nice to have a button within the GUI that could easily switch between dualview and cloned. Is there a c/c++ library that gives...
It seems Windows is unable to display different background images on different monitors on a multi-monitor system out of the box. But I noticed there are quite a few commercial applications available which provide this feature. Which APIs can be (mis-)used to provide this functionality? If there's no special API for this feature, can it...
Hi all, I've recently had a customer report an issue with my applications and NVidia nView desktop manager. Basically nView seems to 'unhide' hidden secondary forms when moving an application between monitors. I'm testing with Delphi 2010. The problem can also be seen using just the IDE (show a non-docked window, close it and then choos...
I have a simple screensaver that I've written, which has been deployed to all of our company's client PCs. As most of our PCs have dual monitors, I took care to ensure that the screensaver ran on both displays. This works fine, however on some systems, where the primary screen has been swapped (to the left monitor), the screensaver onl...
I'm creating a splash screen for a Java application using the SplashScreen class. The problem is that the position on multi-monitor systems is undefined. The documentation states "the position on multi-monitor systems is not specified - it is platform and implementation dependent". The application is going to be used solely on multi-moni...
Hi. I have to plan the development for an application with these major requirements: Show different graphical data and animations in 6 monitors, in fullscreen mode. The hardware to be used is a PC with 3 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 cards. I have some expertise working with OpenGL, but never with more than one monitor. I have the (some li...
I am writing a screensaver in Delphi. I want is to display a TpresentationFrm on each monitor, fullscreen. To this end, I have written the following (incomplete) program: program ScrTemplate; uses ... {$R *.res} type TScreenSaverMode = (ssmConfig, ssmDisplay, ssmPreview, ssmPassword); function GetScreenSaverMode: TScreenSaverMod...
I hear that Visual Studio 2010 has "Multi-Monitor Support". Yet now that I am using it, I see no difference from VS2008. I still have to resize all my windows when switching from one monitor to two and back again. Is there somekind of Profile or setting I am missing? For example, Delphi lets you save desktop profiles that record wher...
With Visual Stuido 2010's multi-monitor support, I like the support for code windows, but the support for tool windows is seriously lacking. For instance, I want to restore the behavior when double-clicking on a floating tool windows to "docked", not "maximize". How do I restore the previous behavior when double-clicking on a floating ...
I keep accidentally double-clicking my tabs in VS2010 and undocking them. Is it possible to turn off this behavior? Note: I'm using Document Well 2010 Plus from the Productivity Power Tools, in case that makes a difference. ...
In a C# winform application running in a multimonitor environment (desktop is stretched across 2 or 3 monitors), the Location property of a Form represents the location of the form on the spanned desktop instead of the location of the form on the physical screen. Is there an easy way to find the Location of the form in screen coordinate...
Does Sql Server management studio have no nice support for multi-monitor setups? The only way I can see to use it multi-monitor is to stretch the main window across both monitors, but this isn't really practical, as my two main monitors are different sizes and resolutions (external monitor on a laptop). I was hoping for something at ...
