Multiple monitors in .NET

Question

Are all displays returned from .NET's Screen.AllScreens regardless of hardware configuration? For example, on a single PC you can have:

1. Video card out to two display = total 2 displays
2. Video cards each out to 1 display = total 2 displays,
3. Video cards each out to 2 displays = 6 displays,
4. Eyefinity card out to 6 displays (on displayports)

In all these cases, if I use Screen.AllScreens can I access each display individually?

Also, what if I have a card in extended mode, meaning 2 displays plugged into one card but it's just one big desktop (what I use at work)? Can I still specify content to appear on one screen?

Answer 1

Yes, Windows doesn't care how the screens are distributed across video adapters. It simply gives each screen its own coordinates, depending how you arrange them in the Display applet. You get your window to display on a specific one by setting its location and size to fit inside the Screen.Bounds
