Not on tabs he hasn't...and despite all that you already changed the menu, since it pops up on the right monitor now! Smile

No, Tree's ctxt menu either, but i was only referring to the List ctx menu here, so my reason is still validlukescammell wrote:Not on tabs he hasn't...and despite all that you already changed the menu, since it pops up on the right monitor now! Smile

What about the drag'n'drop custom menu. Does it popup on the correct monitor???jacky wrote:No, Tree's ctxt menu either, but i was only referring to the List ctx menu here, so my reason is still validlukescammell wrote:Not on tabs he hasn't...and despite all that you already changed the menu, since it pops up on the right monitor now!

Just tested (cause XY is on my main monitor), and no I'm afraid it does not. Neither does the menu when using CKS, eg. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Vadmin wrote:What about the drag'n'drop custom menu. Does it popup on the correct monitor???

(else I would have had trouble to understand it)When using CKS??? How do you pop the drag'n'drop custom menu by CKS?

Yeah I wasn't very clear, sorry about that...admin wrote:When using CKS??? How do you pop the drag'n'drop custom menu by CKS?
No, not the D&D menu, I meant using CKS to popup a menu, any menu that has submenus and you can assign KS for, such as Rename Special, Info to Clipboard, etc or, as I mentioned, Paste Special (which has one by default)

It's impossible to write a workaround for each of these KS-driven popups. So I have to find a bloody FIX for it! Why must you hellhounds use 2 monitors anyway?

hehe... well as I said, AFAIC XY is always fullscreen'ed on my main monitor, so I have no problem whatsoever, menus always popup on the right place for meadmin wrote:Why must you hellhounds use 2 monitors anyway?
The real question is: why would one use XY on his secondary monitor?

Good thing the guy in this pix isn't using XY in that case! Look at all those monitors!admin wrote: Why must you hellhounds use 2 monitors anyway?
This is from DL.TV site, and it's the link there to play episode 152.
Update: In case this JPG is unavailable sometime in the future from that site: what it showed was a guy's setup with 13 (yes, 13!) monitors arranged in a semi-circle style so he could play flight simulator games and have it more resemble the view from a cockpit...

Okay okay, I'm convinced. The time for some research is NOW. So a little natural break in CKS development: gotta solve that dual monitor (monitor, not panej_c_hallgren wrote:Good thing the guy in this pix isn't using XY in that case!

) issue now.You VB-programmers out there with 2+ monitors: (a) can the X and Y arguments of the PopupMenu() function set so that it pops up on the correct monitor? (b) if yes, how can these values for X and Y be retrieved programmatically?

Well, IIRC this is a VB5 bug, you can't have it to popup menu on another monitor than the main one. not using VB functions at least, you must use APIs. Isn't that the way it's done already, for "working" menus?admin wrote:You VB-programmers out there with 2+ monitors: (a) can the X and Y arguments of the PopupMenu() function set so that it pops up on the correct monitor?

Sometimes, when asking the same question again, you get a new answer But this time you give me the same answer. 
Yes API is the way I did it for the "working" menus. But it's a hard way, and it's even harder when the popups have submenus. Now with CKS, suddenly there are many potential popups... could partly be automated/wrapped, but not completely. Not satisfying. There's other more interesting stuff to do, really!

I hear you. And you have my vote to forget about this & do other stuff, let them switch their monitors if they really need toadmin wrote:Yes API is the way I did it for the "working" menus.

Thanks for your vote! BTW, I'll fix it for the d'n'd menu and the tab-context menu right now.jacky wrote:I hear you.
