AndrewPepper Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Great new beta version, but there is one feature that would make the product more friendly when using a projector with a laptop; support for multiple screens - so that the presentation could be displayed using the projector but the PTE window and desktop stay on the laptop screen.-Andrew Quote
Guest guru Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Andrew, this is a hardware issue, and doesn't depend by the software (PTE or any other) but only by the video card features. Quote
AndrewPepper Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Posted August 7, 2003 Guido, I'm not certain I entirely agree - obviously you will need more than one display adaptor to use multiple displays, but Windows "knows" about the second (or more) display card(s). Mostly its invisible to applications that you have more than one display - windows simply extends the desktop to cover the multiple displays.I don't know what language PTE is written in, but in C or C++ you obtain include file multimon.h from Microsoft - more detail than I understand is at msdn.microsoft.com.... Obviously, if you only have a single display then applications are unchanged, but I believe its possible for an application to be aware (Microsoft use the expression multiple monitoraware) and use separate monitors.-Andrew Quote
