| hi.. I want to extand my desktop so in my laptop i will program and on my other screen when i compile i will get the compile window.. anyone knows how to tell blitz to open the compile screen on the second monitor, or how to locate the win position? tnx |
| ||
| what "compile" window? Do you mean the running application window itself? A standard BlitzMax graphics window has no default functionality for locating it anywhere on the screen - as far as I am aware, which, to be honest, is a bit rubbish. |
| ||
| If you mean to see your program on the other monitor,just drag the program window across to the other monitor. |
| ||
| just drag the program window across to the other monitor Like I said - a bit rubbish. |
| ||
| For Blitz yes it is a waste of time,but for Blender and Gimp it is pure loveliness.:) |
| ||
| when i drag the program window to the other monitor next time i compile , i will have to drag it again.. I want it to open on the other monitor every time i compile.. so there should be a way to set blitzmax output window position i guess. anyway.. its no big deal.. |
| ||
| Try using extended monitor,in your graphics app. wont work my bad. sorry Drag Blitz3D or Max to your other monitor,and the compiled program should show on the first monitor,all the time |
| ||
| Ok ill try, tnx mate (though I think ive tried in the past and it didnt work) Ill try again. maybe i missed something |
| ||
| so there should be a way to set blitzmax output window position i guess. anyway.. its no big deal.. I'd assume that it appears on whatever monitor you set up as your primary in the display settings -- try making our other monitor the primary, and run the IDE on the secondary. |
| ||
| Good idea xksior.. I intended to program on my laptop and test on my external monitor, which i still might do |
| ||
| Some code here from GfK that could be used to set the applications starting location http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=74915 |
