[Gtk-sharp-list] Dual Monitor

[truck0321]

I am running windows and I'm looking for cross platform support of multiple
monitors. I'd like to open a Gtk window on a second monitor. The below
code returns the integer 0 no matter what monitor my Window resides on when
the code is run so it looks like it is not aware of a second monitor.

Gdk.Screen screen = this.Screen;
int mon = screen.GetMonitorAtWindow(this.ParentWindow);

Someone made the suggestion of setting the monitor through Gtk.Window.Screen
but this method does not exist in gtk-sharp-2.12.25. I am using Xamarin
Studio and my OS is Windows 7 x64.

Hi,

I used this hack on Linux, it worked, I don't know if its going to be
useful for you, but it seems you had any help so far, so...

Gtk.Window _window = new Gtk.Window(WindowType.Toplevel);
window.Move(1280, 0);

The idea is just to create the window and then move it to the
coordinates of the second monitor.
I'm not sure how gtk on windows handles this.

I hope it helps,

Alexander

That worked, thanks Alexandre. I added the below code to handle different
monitor resolutions.

Gdk.Rectangle mon = this.Display.GetScreen(0).GetMonitorGeometry(0);
this.Move (mon.Right, 0);
