Moving a form to another monitor
I am working on a VB application that requires two monitors. The main monitor shows a windows media video clip and the other monitor contains another VBform that contains buttons. Clicking on a specific button, will direct the user to a specific chapter on the video clip. I can do the latter but I don't know how to move the form containing the buttons to the second monitor. Is there an API that will allow me to do this?
TIA
Mike

Re: Moving a form to another monitor
What about just setting the forms location to a coordinate that will place it on the second monitor?
VB Code:
'This will more it to the start of the second monitor if your runing 1024 x 768 resolution
Form1.Move 1024 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX + 1

Re: Moving a form to another monitor(RESOLVED)
Great that worked. The second monitor is to the left of the primary, so I just used
VB Code:
frmButtons.Move -1024 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX + 1
The second monitor is smaller so I just have to play with the settings to match it up.
Thanks,
Mike

No problem 
If your second monitor is on the left of the primary then you could use the Display Settings to arrange the monitor configuration if that helps.

I'm curious...
Doesn't that cause the desktop icons to migrate to the secondary monitor? That's what happens to me if I select "LEFT" side for the secondary (that's with a laptop)...
