There are two separate issues here:
what WinBarDual5 will do and what PowerPro can do.
[A] what WinBar can do...
Following a request from sgp, I have changed WinBarDual so it can
cope with the Secondary monitor being on the left of the Primary.
That was not too difficult and the changed version works ok.
My delay uploading it is because I have to complete some changes
about a completely different issue (about the automatuc switching
between Mono and Dual versions for people who often connect and
disconnect a second monitor) and I haven't had enough spare time
for it recently because of a new design contract.
[B] what PowerPro can do
I don't understand your writing:

That is not my experience. After reading your message, I did
some more tests and had no problems sending a window to/from
the negative x zone.
The following all return correct results, "1", when the window
is placed at -1000,20
win.debug(visiblewindow("readme.txt - metapad"))
win.debug(anywindowwindow("readme.txt - metapad"))
win.debug(activewindow("readme.txt - metapad"))
[I made the target active even though it was off screen]
win.debug(win.exists(win.handle("readme.txt - metapad")))
WinBarDual5 is a quick way to test all of PowerPro's
window commands and also test several types of data
which PowerPro can provide about a window. In my tests
PowerPro was able to apply every command and function
to a window with a negative x coordinate.
Could you post any examples of functions or commands
or win plugin calls which fail for a window on your
left (negative x) monitor, please?
Thanks,
Alan
