Full Screen Preview on a Second Monitor in Dual Monitor Setup

Momir Zecevic asked:

Open original thread
Hi folks,

I am writing an add on for existing application dialog based. It has to have following feature:

When user hit button named preview application has to display content of a clipboard (i know how to handle clipboard), Scaled or over the black background, in FullScreen on a selected monitor. It can be current monitor on a single monitor system (or in clone mode), or one that is in application settings designated as preview monitor, in multimonitor settings.

I am not constrained with programming language or anything else. It can be separate application that I call from my application by passing parameters (such as which monitor, resolution , scaling etc), even better if that application can be preloaded and put in system tray.

I would highly appreciate if you can give me easy starting point.

Regards,
Momir Zecevic

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
