[DUG] Multi monitor question

[Conor Boyd]

poScreenCenter is the one you want.
 
I can't off the top of my head think of a scenario where poDesktopCenter
is actually useful.

Subject: [DUG] Multi monitor question


a question about multi monitors - as the help is a bit vague about the
form property Position.  In D7, D2007 there are these 2 options:
 
poDesktopCenter
poScreenCenter
 
from the help:
 
poScreenCenter The form remains the size you left it at design time, but
is positioned in the center of the screen. In multi-monitor
applications, the form may be moved from this center position so that it
falls entirely on one monitor, as specified by the DefaultMonitor
property. 
 
poDesktopCenter The form remains the size you left it at design time,
but is positioned in the center of the screen. No adjustments are made
for multi-monitor applications.
 
 
I presume the normal way people use dual monitors is to have the desktop
continue onto the second monitor?
 
Question - With a dual monitor , which one puts the form in the middle
of the first monitor?  I haven't tried it as my external  monitor is
currently in another city and so its not much use.  That help is vague
enough I wouldn't be sure until I tried it.   But for future
compatibility it would be nice to know...
