Dual monitors and context menu

[JustinF]

If Tracker is on the secondary monitor and you right-click on an empty area of either the listview or treeview, the context menu displays on the edge of the primary monitor. Clicking directly on a file or folder displays the menu in the correct place.

Users... you never cease to surprise me.

OK, I tried something. You tell me if it works. (I limit myself to 1 monitor at a time.)

LOL. I'm surprised I haven't ran across this before. I always keep Tracker front-and-center on the primary monitor, though.

Should be fixed with v4.20.0019.

Unfortunately the problem still exists.

Ok. What about other context menus: browsing tabs, toolbar history buttons, various file list column headers... good or nogood?

Browsing Tabs: No good
Toolbar history buttons: No good (I didn't know that existed until now!)
Column headers: No good
Preview/File View context menu in Info Panel: No good
Tooltip when you hover over Created/Modified dates in Info Panel: No good
File Info Tips in listview: GOOD!
Configuration window: No good...it always opens on the primary monitor, in the same spot the context menus show up.

Context menus that work:
Right-click on application title bar
Right-click on scrollbar(s)
right-click on node in treeview
right-click on item in listview

And you're sure your graphic card is working alright?

I'll see what i can do...

This one I cannot control at all.

The rest, I hope, can be tackled.

Well, I guess you can never be 100% sure ...I do have other apps that have custom context menus that show up correctly, though.

Doesnt seem to work I got same results as in JustinF's detailled post. (also, when you right click on a preview, to show it full screen, it's on the main monitor too)

did a few tests since I have 2 monitors. But I'm a bit confused cause I haven't been able to get the problem you have
I just started VB with a Form, a button on it which will popup the menu, and it works with both a "classic"
PopupMenu mnu_popup, , Command1.Left + x, Command1.Top + y
and also using APIs to get the cursor pos:
PopupMenu mnu_popup, , pt.x, pt.y

How do you popup you menus?

[admin]

Well, I first had it all "classic/implicit":

PopupMenu menEdit, vbPopupMenuRightButton

then "classic/explicit":

PopupMenu menEdit, vbPopupMenuRightButton, picList.Left + X, picList.Top + Y

then API:

' get cursor pos on screen
GetCursorPos pt
' convert into client coordinates
ScreenToClient hwnd, pt

PopupMenu menEdit, vbPopupMenuRightButton, pt.X, pt.Y

and it all failed.
