As simple as that

Thanks.

Those commands only give the dimensions of the extra displays and not the actual location of the display, i.e. If I set my secondary monitor directly above my primary I need to know that its location is 0,-1024 in relation to the primary screen at 0,0

I'm trying to create a multi monitor application in PureBasic 4 and I need to know the relative positions of each of the additional monitors.

For Example, I have my right secondary monitor at a position of -192.

I found some PB3.9x code for this but it doesn't work in PB4, can anyone point me in ...

Fantastic, works like a dream.

Thanks for all your help.

That worked great, with one small exception.

I was building an application in v3.9 that used threads but it mucked up with all the string manipulation. When I tried to pull out strings from various gadgets I would get incorrect values.

Since I converted it to v4 Beta 4 (then beta 5) I've had no problems with any variable/string manipulation ...

Thanks for the help.

I'll try those options out and see which works best for me.

I have a small app I'm working on that has a rather intensive for...next loop, during this loop I update several text gadgets with information for the user.

The problem is that if the window is obscured in any way the window doesn't get refreshed and only the text gadgets I'm updating show.

I was ...

Thanks.
