You can look at screen.monitors[idx] to get the coordinates of each monitor. Cycle through the monitor coordinates and make sure the form is in a respectible position on a visible monitor.
Keep in mind that monitors placed to the left of a primary monitor can actually have NEGATIVE coordinates. Many apps, including the Delphi 2005 IDE do not work properly in negative coordinates. The Delphi 2005 IDE just plain freezes up if you move certain windows/palletes to a negative window. Photoshop even has problems. --Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross Levis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Delphi Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 1:26 AM Subject: dual monitors problem >A user with dual monitors contacted me today asking why my app will not > load up on his right monitor.
