    subclassing or hooks maybe..?

    I have a small problem with my system at home. I have two video cards in it one hooked to my monitor one to my tv. i want to create a list of class names or something like that which will be used to force application to run on the tv or display adapter 1. I have never messed with hooks or anything so i am not sure if that is what I need or not.

    Any way I have a bunch of very simple games and things that I want to run on the tv but when they go fullscreen they run on he monitor because it is the primary display and I can't make the tv primary because that messes with playing movies on the tv because whatever i do while the kids and wife are watching a move opens on the tv instead of the monitor whe the tv is set for primary. so I was thinking if I could set a hook and have it check a list of app class names...that might do it.

    Unfortunatly I am clueless. Please help me guys.
    Thanks.

    EnumWindows to get all window handles, then GetWindowLongPtr to get their class names.

    that part i can handle

    it's how to make the applicatio n use a certian card when its code isn't written to handle that. I don't know. I haven't had much time to reaserch it it i was hoping someone here would just know how to do it and could show me an example. I think I am going to try to read up on it tonight.

    Search for a 2D-only device driver for the adapter you don't want to use in 3D games. What card is it? I've access to a few old driver archives that I could look into for you.

    I doubt you can force other apps to do such a thing.
