I'm developing a little side-project to display multiple wallpapers on multiple screens under GNOME (something that apparently can't be done by GNOME itself or anything else). I've figured out how to do the main part of it (using the ImageMagick components, for the curious); I'm trying to automate the configuration system. To do that, I...
I'm working on a multi-monitor kiosk application that needs to run full-screen on both monitors. I'm using C# and the standard winforms library. I've used a full-screen method for a single monitor with success, but I don't know how to get it full screen on both monitors. ...
I have a MFC application with some bitmaps, dialog boxes and menus. Currently it supports only one monitor resolution (1280x1024). I am planning to add different monitor resolution support to it. To do that I guess I have to load different resolution bitmaps, change the font size etc. My question is, how these are handled in a typical wi...
Many posts around about restoring a WinForm position and size. Examples: www.stackoverflow.com/questions/92540/save-and-restore-form-position-and-size www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/restoreposition.aspx?fid=1249382&df=90&mpp=25&noise=3&sort=Position&view=Quick&select=2595746 But I have yet to find code to do this with multiple monito...
When I try to run unit tests, in debug mode only, on "Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 SP1" and the Test Results view is open in a screen other than the main one (I have 2 monitors), the devenv.exe process crashes. Have you ever encountered a similar error? Have you found a workaround for it? ...
How can I configure FreeNX to work as a secondary monitor for my desktop on my Windows laptop? Such that I can drag apps from my nix desktop to my windows workstation, just like how I can do on a secondary display. ...
Not really looking for description of bosses, but the actual physical surrounding, e.g. desks, chairs, whiteboards, reference libraries, group coffee, etc. Just interested in how many programmers actually work in idealistic conditions and what serious software developers have in their work environment in order to improve their productiv...
I have multiple monitors. I use these utilities to help with window management: UltraMon - a taskbar on each monitor Taskix - click and drag to reorder taskbar buttons GridMove - middle-click and drag to resize/reposition windows to half the screen But they don't really play well with each other: Taskix doesn't allow me to move bu...
I have a Java MouseListener on a component to detect mouse presses. How can I tell which monitor the mouse press occurred in? @Override public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { // I want to make something happen on the monitor the user clicked in } The effect I'm trying to achieve is: when the user presses the mouse button in my app...
For any custom dialog (form) in a WinForm application I can set its size and position before I display it with: form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual; form.DesktopBounds = MyWindowPosition; This is particularly important when dealing with multiple monitors. Without such code, when you open a dialog from an application that you...
Is there a way I can programatically move my screens in relation to each other? I want to put the 2nd display to the left instead of right. I know this can be done by right-clicking the desktop, choosing properties and then drag-drop there, but I want to do this using the Windows API. ...
I'm working on a little WPF app that will run fullscreen and I'd like to give the user the ability to choose which monitor it will display on. To make it easier to identify each monitor in the list, I would like to do something like the Windows Display Settings dialog's "Identify Monitors" button. Is there a way to invoke that function ...
Hello everyone, I have a desktop computer that is hooked up to 3 different monitors of which only two can be active at any one time. One is a primary monitor and is always active. I can manually switch between the other two: one a monitor, another an HDTV. The switch is a mechanical switch which only handles VGA (and at that, only the...
We have an application that runs on XP64 and Vista64 multiple monitor workstations, and have a strange problem when a single form in the application is moved to certain monitors. If the form is moved to a monitor that is to the left and above the primary monitor (it has negative coordinates in the Display Settings dialog), the users wil...
It's almost gotten to the point where you can't buy a conventional (4:3) monitor anymore. Pretty much everything is widescreen. This is fine for watching movies or TV, but is it good or bad for programming? My initial thoughts on the issue are that widescreens are a net negative for programmers. Here are some of the disadvantages I see:...
Hi, I ran into a strange issue where "fn_key -- F4" combination on my hp laptop to extend the screen would stop working once I have a wpf application running. This happens even when I create an empty app -- as soon as I run it, I can't extend my desktop to a second monitor. Thanks! ...
I want to provide multi-monitor support in my application. In the past I have had the simplistic view that multi-monitor support is simply the lack of open multi-monitor related bugs. If it seems to work on a multi-monitor setup, then it supports multi-monitors, right? But I would like to create some clear requirements about this. Wha...
Hi, I have got a component. The ToolTip of the component is set by the setToolTipText() method. On the first monitor everything works fine. Now when I move the frame to the second monitor, the tooltips are displayed at the edge of the monitor (on the side to the firt monitor). This happens only with tooltips of this component. The probl...
Creating a new Managed DirectX device on a single monitor setup is easy, I call the device constructor with adapter identifier 0 ( or Manager.Adapters.Default.Adapter). On a multiple monitor setup I want to create the device with the correct adapter identifier 0 or 1, depending on the primary or secondary monitor being currently used. ...
