My application needs to support multiple displays. How do I programmaticly move a window/form to a certain displays (monitor)?
If I need to do this with win32 api, what would be the function?

As long as child forms can move outside the main window, it should have multiple monitor support.
I did note somewhere (cant remember where though) than the position you use is as if the no.1 monitor is the centre monitor in an imaginart monitor grid.
So in my case, 2nd monitor being on the left, the bottom left corner would be (-1024, 768) top right (0,0). Not so sure though

You should be able to get all the info you need about screen points from the System.Windows.Forms.Screen class

I presume you meant to ask this in the C++ forum ? If you're asking about C#, you don't need the API at all. Check out James' and my Code Project screensaver, it supports multimonitor in C#.

What I basicly needed was to get the a form to show up on all the displays center on the screen. This is what I did:
1. Create a form for every screen.
2. Set the location of the form to the screen points (w/ offset to make it centered)
3. Assign all the events to the same event handler. (So all the forms are uniform)
4. Show all the forms.
5. When I get input from the form - all forms are closed.
Thanks for helping me out.

There is a setting in windows control panel that allows you to set how fast this happens, i wondered if anyone knew how to discover it, so i am not hard coding it.

Hi all,
I have implemented a destructor, and although the destructor gets called and I can step thru the functions, there is this one function that does not "respond". It gets called and returns, but does not do (it does nothing) what its meant to do.  I can however assign the same function to a button and it works without any problems.
~CD()
{
this.Stop();
_Free();
}
Any suggestions?

Maybe the resources which Stop function uses are freed before the function is called.

Nope, not it, I have tried calling the unmanaged dll directly with the same effect

If you post Stop function's code it'll be simplier to come up with a solution.

But first do what Nnamdi Onyeyiri advises.
I agree with him.

I believe you may be referring to this man.

Be careful - the C# destructor is simply a shorthand way of calling the Finalize method that forces it to be written in a try/catch loop. It is NOT guarenteed to run when your object goes out of scope, hence the 'Dispose' paradigm, which is little more than deterministic destruction through a method that you need to remember to call.
I think ( and Jeff Richter agrees ) that calling it a destructor and making it look like a C++ destructor is gay, because it isn't one, and it's confusing that it looks like one.

Thx Christian
Thats sounds like a lot of "extra useless" work though
How would disposed be called then, automatically? If it not auto, then it defeats the point...

It *is*, except that there is no deterministic finalisation, therefore you need it if you want destruction to happen when an item goes out of scope, or at any other time you choose.
leppie wrote:

No, the point is that the system cannot tell when to call it.
leppie wrote:

Sadly, that *is* the point. There is no mechanism whereby a destructor gets called at any specific time, and so you need to abstract the destruction into a function you *can* call, which is the only reason for IDispose, to formalise what is really both obvious and a little sad.
Having said that, the fact that C# moves towards an idiom where try/catch is used more than in C++, because the API's throw Exceptions rather than return error codes, it's really not that hard to have a finally block that handles the cleanup through IDispose, or otherwise. I was a little sad at first, and it still makes things ugly in some cases, but I tend to think now it's more of a paradigm change than an all out disaster. Not like the fact that const is broken in C#.

I'm using a Class DLL which contains my codes to make it easier for me to update the software with just overwrting the DLL file. Now I need to know how can I use the following command in the clas library?
FORMname.CONTRLname.Text = "Hell World";

Does C# has browse directory dialog?Something like SHBrowseForFolder that we use in VC.
