Greetings
Does anyone have or know of any code to use dual monitors on Win98. I wish to run an app on 1 display with a thread of the app running on a second monitor...any help would be appreciated

Dual Monitors is supported at the OS level. Apps (without using API calls) don't need to know about this. The destop is just treated as larger than the single monitor. If you have 2 monitors that are 1024x768 then to place a form left at 1025 or greater to get the right hand monitor.

One "gotcha" to watch out for when writing code for multiple monitors, is that window positions can be negative.
