Razzak Memon Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2017 1:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - MDI form Monitor control ? Frank, As mentioned in my original reply, my time and schedule permitting, I'll prepare a sample application to illustrate the use of MDI features in a multi-display environment. In the meantime, here is something you can try ... The values MonitorWorkareaLeft, MonitorWorkareaTop, MonitorWorkareaRight, MonitorWorkareaBottom from MONITOR_PROPERTY should give you the info you need. Here are sample calls to MONITOR_PROPERTY: GETPROPERTY APPLICATION MONITOR_PROPERTY[0] vMonitor --> 0,Y,0,0,1920,1080,0,0,1920,1040 GETPROPERTY APPLICATION MONITOR_PROPERTY[1] vMonitor --> 1,N,1920,0,1920,1080,1920,0,3840,1080 Notice the last four values of the comma separated values. The work area dimensions of MONITOR_PROPERTY[1] is the extension of MONITOR_PROPERTY[0]. You can get (using GETPROPERTY) the Top and Left of a form and check where it is located. From there you can determine the location of the form. That's all there is to it! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
