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.
