[RBASE-L] - Re: RBG76 and multiple monitors

[Doug Hamilton]

Emmitt, I have dual monitors and have separate icons on each monitor for a specific RB database (1 icon for development, 1 for testing).  Regardless of which monitor I start RB from, my MainMenu is centered on Monitor 1.  If I drag the menu to monitor 2 and open a form, it appears centered on monitor 2, regardless of which monitor RB was launched from.  OK, I couldn't resist: if the menu stradles the monitors, it seems the form will appear on the monitor with the larger portion of the main menu. This behavior is a little different from previous versions of 7.6 (maybe a year ago?).  Used to be that the MainMenu would appear on the monitor from which RB was launched - that's why I had an icon on each monitor. FYI:  Win 2k: Desktop|RightClick|Properties = Display Properties: Settings tab: Monitor 1 is primary monitor and Extend Win Desktop is checked.  Monitor 2: Primary Monitor not checked, Extend Win Desktop is checked. Monitor 1 runs off the embedded motherboard video and is 1680x1050, Monitor 2 run off an old S3 video board in a PCI slot, resolution is 1024x768. I've also written code that allows each user to drag a form wherever they want and save the coords in a table. A RUN SELECT positions the form in their saved location.  I can provide more info if that might work for you.
