OT: Dual Monitors

Yahoo Archive
1
Its mostly Progress that is the issue. When you create a window/dialog box in Progress under the properties in the advanced tab there is a section for Geometry X & Y, this is the default windows location it will start with. So because the Epicor programmers write all the windows to work on a single screen, the default locations of the sub windows are going to be on the primary screen. No way around it unless its location is coded into the window/dialog box properties. :(

"It gets more entertaining the more monitors you add."

Yeah, nothing like having a quad monitor setup..... :) What's really cool is running RDP on the different monitors, no need for a KVM switch, just move the mouse to that computer screen!

Ben,
I have played with this before. Ended up moving my icons and start
menu/menu bar to the second monitor. The it appears like the first monitor.
Vantage has it's own rules about where it pops up unlike windows
applications.
It gets more entertaining the more monitors you add.
Good luck,

That seems to work with Outlook and Firefox and maybe a few other
programs. Does not work with Vantage. I can just use Monitor 1 for
vantage, but it would be ideal on Monitor 2.

Thanks,
Ben

I just setup dual monitors so I can have Vantage open on one monitor
(the extra one) and run everything else on the other.

The problem I have is that everytime I click on a shortcut, it opens
in the first monitor. Is there a setting where new windows will open
where the program is?

Thanks,
Ben

You can try putting the short cut in the window/monitor you want to start it from.

The other issue, if you're starting from a .vtg or .mfg file, the exe might be launching it to the main window. In this case you might be able to have it run on the other monitor by creating the shortcut in long hand mode (type out the full command line to start vantage).

Thanks, that was a good tip, but I actually may have worded it wrong.
What happens is when I am on monitor 2, in Vantage, I will click on a
favorite (ie Order Entry) and the new smaller order entry window
appears in monitor 1 and not 2 where the main program is. Does that
make sense?

Thanks for your help!

what if you moved the new window to the second screen and closed it then opened it again? Does it retain, or is it trying to result back to the screen position it was originally developed/designed in?
