Hello Richard,
I save the coordinates of the main window and store these in an INI-file.
The user positions the window where he prefers and the next time the window opens exectly at this position.
With this coordinates the window opens on my right monitor.
Best regards
Otto

How do I know the resolution of the monitor I'm moving my window to ? If the monitors have different resolutions then I will need to resize the app window

How to know B Monitor Resolution?

Please see

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... y-monitors
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... -functions

You need to develop your own functions for this.

Instead, FWH 18.12 is coming up with complete functionality for programming with multiple monitors.
Eg:

Code: Select all  Expand view

nMonitors := FW_ActiveMonitors()
oMonitor := FW_GetMonitor( 2 )
? oMonitor:nLeft, oMonitor:nWidth, etc.
// and a lot more
 

Right now, you can activate a window on second monitor in a simple way:

Code: Select all  Expand view

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd ...
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ON INIT oWnd:Move( nil, oWnd:nLeft + ScreenWidth(), nil, nil, .t. )
 

A simple way to know the width of the second monitor is

Code: Select all  Expand view

nWidth2 := GetSysMetrics( 78 ) - ScreenWidth()
? GetSysMetrics( 79 ) // --> Maximum of the heights of 1st and 2nd monitors
 

This works when you have only 2 monitors.
