Changing the mouse focus between dual monitors?

Is there a way to make a keyboard shortcut to change the mouse focus
between dual monitors? For example, if I'm on the left-hand screen,
would be able to hit a button combination that would change the mouse
focus to the right-hand monitor? It seems like I waste a large amount
of time moving the mouse between monitors, so it would be great if I
could switch the mouse focus with the keyboard.

VB appears to have MouseFocus functionality, which is why I think that
a shortcut can be made. Is this correct?

How can I detect if the user has dual monitors and then how do I control which monitor a form is displayed on. Currently my forms always come up on my right monitor. What if I want to have it always display on my left one? Thanks Ken

Is there anyway to be able to split vs.net between 2 monitors? For instance, on one monitor, I'd like to have the form in design mode, while the other monitor would have the code for the form. Or at least be able to split a code window between 2 monitors. Is this even possible? Thanks.

Is there any method to temporarily disable focus changing?(I assume only method is tab or mouse?) This problem has been tieing me up for a while and nothing seems to work. The only thing that I *know* will work is to disable all tab stops on all controls. This brute force method doesn't seem like a good idea though. What I wanted to do was take control the control enter/leave and mouse enter/leave and "switch back" the focus when it is...

I just received a 2nd (configured as a dual) monitor but, for Access only, I can't seem to figure out, if it's possible, to view, say, Table1 on one monitor and Table2 on the other monitor. If I open Table1, then Table2, Table2 apparently sits directly over Table1 and seems anchored so that I cannot move it "out of the way". Is this bahavior a restriction with Access as I do not have this problem with Excel or Word? Sheldon Potolsky

I've been using dual monitors for about a year now (absolutely love it), but have run into a weird situation with Access 2000 lately. I loaded a database on two PC's that do NOT have dual monitors, and when I try to open 2 different forms from this database, it looks/feels like nothing is happening. If I look in the window list, the form IS open, but the user can't get to it. I open the same database at home on my two monitors, and the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
