 |
|
Hi all,
I got two monitors attached to my stystem, and now I was wondering how I can
create/open a form on the second monitor?
I've been playing around with Screen.Monitors, but that doesn't seem to do
the trick.
I'm using Delphi 7 on a winXP-system.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards,
filip. |

Have you tried setting the form's Monitor property?

Yes, indeed I have.
All I got was a compiler-error : cannot assign to a read-only property.
This is what I did :
a := TForm.Create(self); //just a small standard form
a.Monitor := Screens.Monitor[1]; --> error
a.ShowModal;
a.Free; |

Usually this is simply a matter of setting the left and top property of
the form. If your primary monitor is on the left and has a horizontal
resolution of 1280, set the left property of the form to something like
1380 to get it to show up on the right monitor.

Yes, and you should use the Screen.Monitors values to compute the Top/Left
positions.
