    HUH? You can see them, but you can't see them, but you can drag info from one to another without seeing them... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.

    As someone that has 4 monitors on my computer I can say they're awesome. But I have no idea what you're trying to do.[IMGNOTHUMB]http://files.me.com/tlhintoq/dvhnet[/IMGNOTHUMB]

      i want to know if its possible to have
      1 windows C# form that has got, i dunno 3 picture boxes in it or whatever
      and the 3 picture boxes represent 1 screen in itself.

      and then make it able to lets say for instance open windows media player, and drag it from the normal screen into the 2nd picture box and then if you do look on screen to media player would be there but your are still in they main screen.

      i got difficult ways to explain the simplest of things

        Are you talking about something like KVM switch?

          I think he's talking about a virtual desktop application.
          Apple calls there's "Spaces" and it's built into the OS. You have one monitor, but 3 virtual monitiors and you can move applications from one virtual monitor to another. You can configure several virtual screens/virtual desktops

          Then drag applications from one screen to the other. Here we see Vuse on screen 1, iTunes on 2, nothing on 3, Excel on 4 with some artwork showing it could be dragged to the left to put it on 3.

          Pressing a key combination such as [CONTROL]-1 takes you to screen 1, [CONTROL]-2 is screen 2 and so on. In Apple's implimentation you can also just drag a window to the right/left/top/bottom of the screen and you will be switched to that virtual monitor: You don't *have* to go to the reduced view to move windows. It does a decent job of giving you multiple desktops.

          There's several different ones out for Windows such as:

            This is kinda the idea that im going for but im talking about 3 real screens and an c# form on screen one with all 3 screens in the form. Then controlling all the screens essentially from the main one with the c#form on. I just want to know if its possible to display monitors on a C# form

              Yeah, it should be possible.
