dual monitor.............in vb.net or c#

[kalyanilovesme]

Hi,

I am running my application in two minitors.In one monitor.............if it is idle for some time the screensaver wil come(I wrote the code for this using system dll functions) .

Now my problem is that if i keep the mouse on monitor1 and i clicked on this monitor1..........this key press events should not work for second monitor.if i clicked on the first monitor ..............the screensaver is disappearing in the second monitor.

Means my query is it has to work according to mouse if the mouse is on ist monitor ,the key press events should work for this monitor only...............


Please help using vb.net or c#



Thanks Ramesh d

Welcome to the site. How are you distinguishing in code between the two monitors?

Welcome to the site. How are you distinguishing in code between the two monitors?

Hi kenobewan ,
thx for responding to my query.........i am searching in different sites....but i did not get..

Here i wil explain..

please go through it..

for the cpu...i connected the monitors..using a circuit..it gives the no to each monitor..

In my project i have the two applications..one should run on first monitor...second should run on the second monitor.
for that..i wrote the code..like this i have 2 forms..like
frmpatient.cs (1 monitor)and
frmphysician.cs(second monitor).
and i created a class is


using System.Data;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace ECSPatient
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for CoreApplication.
/// </summary>
public class CoreApplication
{
#region Main Function

[STAThread]

static void Main(string[] args)
{


//XmlWriteKeyboard();

try
{


Thread thirdThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(RunfrmPatient));
thirdThread.Start();


// Thread secondThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(RunfrmApplication));
// secondThread.Start();

// secondThread.Priority = ThreadPriority.Highest;

}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Exception main : " + ex.Message);
}
}
#endregion




#region XmlWriteKeyboard
//
// public static void XmlWriteKeyboard()
// {
// XmlDocument xmlConfigDoc=new XmlDocument();
//
// xmlConfigDoc.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDire ctory + "\\status.xml");
//
// XmlNode xnDevice=xmlConfigDoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingle Node("//Xml");
//
// foreach (XmlNode node in xnDevice)
// {
// if(node.Name=="keyboard")
// node.ChildNodes[0].Value=strKeyStatus;
// }
// xmlConfigDoc.Save(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDire ctory + "\\status.xml");
// }
//
#endregion


#region Run OHM Application
/* Name : RunOHMApplication
* Purpose : Function which displays the forms of both Presentation 1 and Presentation 2
*
* */
protected static void RunfrmPatient()
{

// change the frmhome(1) to frmhome(0) while working in the local system.
//While doing install shield set it to frmhome(1) to run the patient application in the second monitor.
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(new frmpatient(0));
//System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(new frmOHMPresentationA(0, contentCollection, strFirstLoopStatus));

}

#endregion
and in the frmpatient.cs code in the constructor is

#region "Overwrite the construction to identify which screen the patient appln should show
public frmpatient(int intScreen)
{
InitializeComponent();
ScreenNumber = intScreen;

}
#endregion

and this is in pageload
this.Bounds =Screen.AllScreens[ScreenNumber].Bounds;

please go through this

THANKS Ramesh d

Is this some sort of embeded environment?
Check System.Windows.Forms.Screen
It provides a basic interface into the screen/monitor objects. You should be able to pull X,Y coordinates that can be used to tell if your mouse is in the first monitor and not the second.
