Hi everyone...

I am working on an application that needs to have two different display
systems which display two different screens of information simultaneously.

I can plug another display adapter into the motherboard, but how do I find
and talk to the new device from Visual C++?

email reply address is bogus... in an obvious way - but replies to the
newsgroup would probably be more useful to stimulate discussion...

Thanks in advance...

I use EnumDisplayDevices and EnumDisplaySettings to get info on the
different devices. To create a window on a secondary device use
CreateWindow and set the position to the location of the other display
using its dmPosition from its DEVMODE.

These Win32 API's:

MonitorFromWindow
GetMonitorInfo

and these special system info calls:

GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXVIRTUALSCREEN)
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYVIRTUALSCREEN)

also help.
