Hmm, Say I have two Computer Screens. Both Viewing the desktop.
Then by pressing (for example control key), I control the layout of the Computer Screen On the left, Basicly two diffrent computers that share everything but there screen layout on the same computer, so if I opend an applet using left screen, It would'nt show on the right. And if I open the applet on the right it would'nt show on the left. Although the Two layouts still share the same data.
Its really hard to explain.

I posted before about this, but its dead now. Anyway I was wondering is it possible to create an application that would handle two computer-screens, Basicly the layout of the window. For example say I have two keyboards, two mouses and two Computer-Screens, plugged into the same computer. One would control the layout of the left screen the other, to the right.

There are a couple of classes that deal with primary and secondary displays.
But I've seen any aspect of windows that deals with two keyboards.

Hmm.....could you explain a little more about the ones that handle with secondary and primary display.

They a mostly monitoring and identification.
In help and the object browser, take a look at System.Windows.Forms.System.Information and System.Windows.Forms.Screen.

I managed to get the list of screens plugged in by using this code
Code Snippet
On Error GoTo err
Dim OnDeviceNo As Integer
Dim Errorr As Boolean = False While (True) If (My.Computer.Screen.AllScreens(OnDeviceNo).DeviceName_.IsNullOrEmpty(False)) Then GoTo err
MonitoresOutput1.Items.Add(My.Computer.Screen.AllScreens(OnDeviceNo).DeviceName)
MonitoresOutput2.Items.Add(My.Computer.Screen.AllScreens(OnDeviceNo).DeviceName)
OnDeviceNo = OnDeviceNo + 1
End While
OnDeviceNo = 0
err:
err2:
On Error GoTo err3ScreenInputKey1.Items.Add(
My.Computer.Keyboard.GetType.Name())OnDeviceNo = OnDeviceNo + 1
OnDeviceNo = 0
err3:
Though I don't know how to do anything to them.

There is not a lot there.
I'm think that it's not what you do to the screens but what your applications do. for example you might try this in a form
Me.left = screenwidth + 300
and
Me.left = screenwidth = 300

Btw, Jeremy I just noticed that code. Erm, I'm quoting and old enginerr I once knew. "Use Goto's like each time you used one, you will loose a finger.
That code, looks like VB^ ... whatever you do, learn to code like that - NOT!
Re: Visual Basic Express Edition Two Computer Screen.
ReneeC
No he doesn't. He's asking about dual monitor support.

XD, I know I was doing a quick job on the code. I really should not use On error goto, to detect the end of the loop.
