    Dual head monitor

    Hi

    I'm writing a MFC C++ application using Visual .NET. I'm using a Dual Head video card with 2 monitors. I want to start my application in the first monitor but open a dialog box in the second monitor. I tried to set the X position of the dialog box greather thant the first screen resolution, but the dialog box still appear on the first monitor.

    Can you help me ?

    Thanks

    Throw a edit box that shows the x,y of the mouse when you 'do something' and haul the dialog over to the other monitor. Read the x,y and use that as a guideline.
