Whilst playing around with my first multi screen VFP app on Windows 7 using the full monitor(s) area under program control, I discovered that in the Windows screen setup where windows shows you your two screens (you can change res and identify each monitor) you can actually drag the second monitor up or down to modify the "0,0" origin. I discovered this purely by mistake as when I dragged a window from one screen to the next it mysteriously dropped down on the screen despite both screens being the same resolution. This is great where you may have two screens with different resolutions as you can set them up so that dragging a object doesn't make it suddenly appear on the second monitor at a peculiar lefel!
On VFP things, is there any reason why with Win 7 64 bit with a TV connected as a second monitor set 1080p you cannot force a window to appear on the TV by default. It works with 2 x proper monitors but not with the TV ... connected through VFA port/HDMI adapter to the video card. Trying to force toe window onto the TV results in it being positioned on the primary monitor .... from where you can drag it over to the second monitor no problem. I'm using sysmetric(1) and Sysmetric(1) for screen width/height. I remember that quite recently there was a discussion regarding windows placement with VFP but I can't remember the details or whether this was discussed.
