Could anyone provide some help on how to manage where an application will
open on a system that uses multiple monitors? Is there a way of ensuring
the application will open were the programmer what it to open i.e. centre of
say the primary screen and is there a way to target other screens if they
are present.
thanks

desired monitor before then displaying the TForm. You can use the global
TScreen object to know how many monitors are present and what their
coordinates are within the virtual desktop.

would be interested in your approach...
BTW - I have set the Position property in design view to poDesigned.
if(Screen->MonitorCount>1) {
// Set the main form's properties Top and Left to centre form on Primary
Screen
frmMain->Top = (Screen->PrimaryMonitor->Height - frmMain->Height) / 2;
frmMain->Left = (Screen->PrimaryMonitor->Width - frmMain->Width) / 2;
}
else {
frmMain->Position = poDesktopCenter;
}
