I want to save and restore the window position of my WPF application. I want to make the code robust to use with multiple monitors who's number and relative location can change (I want to avoid opening my application off-screen when the monitor configuration has changed inbetween invocations). I know of the Screen class in System.Window...
I'd like to write a Silverlight app that has 2 or more browser windows that "interact". An example would be a parent/details display where selecting an item in the "Parent" list (in one browser window) will display the details of the item in another window. The main point is so that on a multiple-monitor setup the user could have t...
If i were developing a screensaver using a windows.form in C# how would i support multiple monitors? obviously i need a way to enumerate the monitors and maybe create forms for them too or just fade to black? Has anyone solved this? Any insight would be helpful, what's the best approach? ...
I can't find a good way of putting Eclipse windows on two monitors. Currently I just detached (clicked on a header and dragged) a few windows to a secondary monitor (package explorer, console, and outline) while leaving primary monitor with maximized source editing window. It works pretty well except few annoying issues. Detached windo...
Like most developers I have grown to love dual monitors. I won't go into all the reasons for their goodness; just take it as a given. However, they are not perfect. You can never seem to line them up "just right". You always end up with the monitors at slight funny angles. And of course the bezel always gets in the way. And this is with...
When debugging I always want Delphi to open my application in the second monitor but it always open in the first one, I know I can save the application placement before closing but I want it to always open in the second monitor when in debug mode. Is there some way to configure delphi 2009 to do that? ...
When I'm working at home I plug my MacBook in to my 20" monitor as a second (right side) monitor. I do all my editing in Xcode on the larger monitor, and leave the menu bar, debugging and documentation on the laptop's monitor. The problem is when I disconnect from the second monitor and want to work on code in "laptop" mode. Now, whene...
I do have main application JFrame window which can include different components. I open a self implemented OnScreenKeyboard when the user select a editable textfield. The OSK is also a JFrame window. When the user drag the main window to another monitor, the OSK should also be shown on the same monitor. For this i have to detect the mon...
I write software for users with multiple monitors and I make design desicions based on the assumption that typically users will maximize windows to each monitor instead of "hand sizing" them. Recently I have noticed though that there seems to be two "schools" in terms of using multiple monitors. There is the "maximize" school and then t...
Here's something that sucks: Plug in external monitor to laptop (Mac OS X Leopard in my case). Arrange your windows to have the IDE on one screen and browser on another. (Etc etc. Resize, rearrange, fuss, fuss, fuss.) Unplug monitor to run to a meeting, or whatever. Goto 1. I'd like to replace step 2 with "computer remembers exactly...
I'm looking into windows management on OS X (trying to achieve something like WinSplit Revolution), and I need to use applescript to pull out the maximum size of a window on a given monitor. Currently I've found: tell application "Safari" set screen_width to (do JavaScript "screen.availWidth" in document 1) set screen_height to ...
I'm splurging for my personal system that I've wanted a while so in choices between these for programming and other uses.... (home) 28 in main center monitor (HDMI) with 2 surrounding 19in widescreen 3 seperate 19 or 21 in monitors, no large one in the center, all equal size. What would be ideal? 28 in is huge, seems like might be a ...
I need to draw a line (with the mouse) over everything with C#. I can get a Graphics object of the desktop window by using P/Invoke: DesktopGraphics = Graphics.FromHdc(GetDC(IntPtr.Zero)); However, anything I draw using this graphics object is only showing on the left monitor, and nothing on the right monitor. It doesn't fail or anythi...
I am writing a, relatively, simple program involving 3 separate monitors. Each monitor will have a button moving around that specific screen. If you click that button it will play a video on that screen. I need to be able to have each of the screens acting as if they are totally separate. I have built the computer that will be running...
Have 4 DVI output. Seems I hopefully will have driver support on this. Details are sketchy online about supporting 4 outputs, but seems possible. My question is from the Linux group and Virtualbox pros.... Will the seamless method of VirtualBox allow me to use all 3 of my monitors for multiscreen. I'd like to stick with Ubuntu and run ...
In the very near future my development setup will be upgraded and part of the deal will be dual monitors (yay!) At least one of the monitors, possibly both, will be widescreen. I've heard of developers using a second monitor, especially a widescreen monitor, in portrait mode. It allows for many more lines on the screen (albeit narrower...
I don't get it. Well I understand how 2 monitors will benefit programmers, but 3? What do you all do with 3 monitors? 1 with the log file, 1 with the app, 1 with the coding? Kindly enlighten me. ...
In the office I have two monitors. At home I have one. When I use remote desktop (Win XP) to work from home, most of the applications are smart enough to all crowd into the primary monitor so I can see and use them. However, it seems their dialog boxes are not. For example, I need to upload a file and click the "Browse" button. I do not ...
Using Direct3D9, I can count the available adapters using IDirect3D9::GetAdapterCount(). However, this returns the number of outputs, i.e. 2 for a single dual-head graphics card. Using Win32 API, I can enumerate the display devices and the monitors attached using the following snippet: DISPLAY_DEVICE displayDevice; ::ZeroMemory(&display...
The joys of multimonitor programming are countless, I think there are about 5 blog posts on Coding Horror on the topic alone! I often code in Windows on my main machine, and have my Mac laptop set up to the side. I use the Mac both to compile Mac builds but also as my "reference web browser". There's no KVM or anything. However a casua...
