Re: how to know 2 monitors are in use?
Someone loves overcomplicating things. I don't, most of the time. I just ran up a stack with 2 scrolling text fields called "VIDZ" and :VIDZ2" repectively, so that relative screen middles could go in the first one and absolute screen middles in the second one, and then popped this code in a button: on mouseUp put empty into fld "VIDZ" put empty into fld "VIDZ2" put the screenRects into fld "VIDZ" put 1 into VDUZ repeat until line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ" is empty put item 1 of line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ" into VW1 put item 3 of line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ" into VW2 put ((VW2-VW1)/2) into WIDD put (((VW2-VW1)/2)+VW1) into WIDD2 put item 2 of line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ" into VH1 put item 4 of line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ" into VH2 put ((VH2-VH1)/2) into HITE put (((VH2-VH1)/2)+VH1) into HITE2 put " screen centre at" && WIDD & "," && HITE after line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ" put " screen centre at" && WIDD2 & "," && HITE2 after line VDUZ of fld "VIDZ2" add 1 to VDUZ end repeat end mouseUp I'll try to post the stack to the Forums, but my ISP is currently playing "silly buggers" so I cannot guarantee anything.

Re: how to know 2 monitors are in use?
All well and good, in theory, but I have just been fooling around with a monitor that gives me 0,0,1600,900, and then "getting its knickers in a twist" because when I feed the topleft of the VDU into my calculations I get a "tried to divide 0 by 0" thing. I suppose (?) one of the ways round this would be to change 0,0,1600,900 to 1,1,1600,900 and live with the "tragedy" that everything would be one pixel "out of whack". Richmond.

Thank you, Paul.

Re: how to know 2 monitors are in use?
"the screenrects" will return the rectangles of all active monitors with the default monitor as the 1st line. Unfortunately, "the screenLoc" only returns the center of the default monitor. You would need to get the rect of any other monitor and calculate the center for centering a dialog on other monitors.

how to know 2 monitors are in use?
During "development" on Windows with 2 monitors, how to use "set the loc of this stack to the screenloc" so that a stack centres in on one or the other monitor? (And, if not in the development environment? say, a standalone?)
