Multi-Monitor Support

[Mark rainess]

Hello,


Does Python or wxPython include any support for multiple monitors. In my
application multiple monitors are located at a distance. It is not
convenient to move a window from the main monitor to one of the others.
I want to have the option to open an an application on any connected
monitor. I am using wxPython. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks

import wx

app = wx.App()

#To get the count of displays
num_displays = wx.Display.GetC ount()

#Open a frame on each display
for display_num in range(num_displ ays):
#Get a display object
display = wx.Display(disp lay_num)

#To get a wx.Rect that gives the geometry of a display
geometry = display.GetGeom etry()

#Create a frame on the display
frame = wx.Frame(None,-1,"Display %d"%display_num ,
geometry.GetTop Left(),geometry .GetSize())

#Make the frame visible
frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

Creating a window on a different display is the same as creating one on
the main display, all you need to do is specify coordinates somewhere on
the alternate display when calling the constructor.

Use wx.Display to find out about the displays on the system, it also
lets you query and set the current video mode for a display.

Hope this helps.
