Multiple monitors

[Peter Huish]

My application runs on a system that has 2 monitors. Currently if I
display a dialog box it will display on the monitor that currently has
focus. Is there a mechanism to have the dialog display on the monitor
that the main form of the application displayed on?

thanks

below is a excerpt from a static class i use , i believe u can use the
Screen class

Screen aScreens = Screeen.AllScre ens // a collection of all monitors
configured on ur computer

// so you should be able to do what you need

hope this helps

Dave

public static void MoveForm(Contro l oControl, NetTools.dvAlig nMent
ePosition)

{

Screen[] aScreens = Screen.AllScree ns;

Rectangle R = aScreens[0].Bounds;

int xPos = 0;

int yPos = 0;

if (ePosition == dvAlignMent.Bot tomRight)

{

oControl.Locati on = new Point(R.Width - oControl.Size.W idth, R.Height -
oControl.Size.H eight);

}

else if (ePosition == dvAlignMent.Bot tomLeft)

{

oControl.Locati on = new Point(0, R.Height - oControl.Size.H eight);

}

else if (ePosition == dvAlignMent.Bot tomCenter)

{

xPos = (R.Width / 2 - oControl.Width / 2);

oControl.Locati on = new Point(xPos, R.Height - oControl.Size.H eight);

}

// top stuff

else if (ePosition == dvAlignMent.Top Right)

{

xPos = R.Width - oControl.Width; //R.Height;

yPos = 0;

oControl.Locati on = new Point(xPos, yPos);

}

else if (ePosition == dvAlignMent.Top Left)

{

xPos = 0;

yPos = 0;

oControl.Locati on = new Point(xPos, yPos);

}
