Hi, all. I'm really new to Euphoria, being in my first week. I'm trying to
develop a decently large scale program that projects praise songs onto a second
monitor, or whatever may be plugged into the second monitor port. I'm using
Win32Lib, and the ide. I'm currently using the Windows api's, with
GetSystemMetrics, with my index as 78(Virtual Desktop Width) and 80(Number of
Monitors)...I'm having quite a time centering my window on that screen, however.
Perhaps what I need is a better Win API Manual (Borland's doesn't have the index
numbers required to get different results)...but I'd prefer an easier way. Any
ideas? And any links to good API manuals? Thanks.
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,
Welcome to Euphoria!
One of the *old books I have explians the process and
it looks fairly easy to do. I'll translate this to Eu from C++
Meanwhile these are the only API calls needed and you'll need
to set up several call_backs for the enumerated monitors.
here are the API functions:
EnumDisplayMonitors()
GetMonitorInfo() -> MONITORINFOEX Struct
MonitorFromPoint()
MonitorFromRect()
MonitorFromWindow()
MONITORINFOEX Struct will hold seperate monitor (mutliple struct) info
also, look into creating a virtual desktop for each enumerated monitor.
I'll whip something up in a day or two and send it for you to try.
I dont use win32lib so I cant help you there.
