I hope I find some time soon to draft an API for a component that can be used to handle multi display support for different platforms. I'm not sure yet if your approch to use an integer to identify a display is sufficient. If on X it is also a string who identifies a display we should use a string as a handle. Sure the component must then also provide a user interface string for each registered monitor. In a simple case this could just result in strings like "Display X" or "Primary Display", "Secondary Display" etc. Would be nice if we can have the same string representation on windows as in the display settings dialog, f.e. "Sun 22 HDTV on ATI X800 XXL".
This can easily be achieved by the MultiMonitor API on Windows (using the GetMonitorInfo() call). For the VCL API, however, I think it would be ok to use an integer based API and additionally provide a mapping between monitor numbers and strings.
