Al,
I never thought of creating my SplashForm without an owner, but when
I read your reply to Joe I got thinking about this. I gave it a try and
sure enough, it solved the visual problems with my MainForm! Evidently
D2009 is confused when more then one form is owned by the Application in the
dpr! Is that strange or what?

Subject: Re: Unable to Get Handle On Monitor
Thanks, Jeremy. I'm using Delphi 2006. I experimented with different default
monitor settings, and always got the same error. All that changed was the
line in which the error happened; the line corresponded to whatever I had
set for the default monitor property. I will continue to experiment, using
your stable code as a starting point.
Thanks again -- Al
p.s. D2006 doesn't have an Application.MainFormOnTaskBar property.

A project source as below works as expected for me on a multi-monitor
system.
This is in Delphi 2009.
program SplashTest;
uses
Forms,
SysUtils,
MainForm in 'MainForm.pas' {Form29},
DataModule in 'DataModule.pas' {data: TDataModule},
SplashForm in 'SplashForm.pas' {frmSplash};
{$R *.res}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;
Application.CreateForm(Tdata, data);
frmSplash := TfrmSplash.Create(nil);
try
frmSplash.Show;
frmSplash.Update;
Application.CreateForm(TForm29, Form29);
finally
FreeAndNil(frmSplash);
end;
Application.Run;
end.
I just run a simple loop in the FormCreate to delay the launching and
allow the marquee progress bar to update on the splash. If you want
the test project I can can it to you directly.
procedure TForm29.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
LCnt: Int64;
I: Integer;
begin
LCnt := 0;
for I := 1 to 99999999 do
begin
Inc(LCnt, I);
Application.ProcessMessages;
end;
Caption := IntToStr(LCnt);
end;
