I am writing a add in for powerpoint on a multi screen system. i want it to react differently if powperpoint loads on the primary screen then if it loads on the secondary screen. How can i tell which screen powerpoint is lading to get the add in to work properly If you have the PowerPoint window handle, you can use MonitorFromWindow() API on it to get the handle to the monitor. From there, you can use GetMonitorInfo() to get more information about the monitor. - Chirag PowerShow - View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html >I am writing a add in for powerpoint on a multi screen system. i > want it to react differently if powperpoint loads on the primary > screen then if it loads on the secondary screen.

How can i tell which >> screen powerpoint is lading to get the add in to work properly I guess you can only get where the application is now working on. MONITORINFO dwFlags A set of flags that represent attributes of the display monitor. The following flag is defined. Value Meaning MONITORINFOF_PRIMARY This is the primary display monitor. This should give you whether its a primary monitor. > I know how to get the information on the screens..How can I tell > whether powerpoint program (not the slide show) loads onto monitor 1 [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >> screen then if it loads on the secondary screen. How can i tell which > >> screen powerpoint is lading to get the add in to work properly I was assuming that you wanted to know which monitor PowerPoint was running on but it seems you want to know which monitor PowerPoint will load on to before running PowerPoint. In this case, you can lookup the following registry entry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\PowerPoint\Options Read the values for DisplayMonitor, AppMaximized, Left, Top, Right and Bottom in this key. <version> is the PowerPoint version you are looking for: 10.0 is PowerPoint 2002 (XP) 11.0 is PowerPoint 2003 12.0 is PowerPoint 2007 If AppMaximized is 1, then look at the value for DisplayMonitor - this is the monitor that PowerPoint will be maximized on. If AppMaximized is 0, then use Left, Top, Right, Bottom to know the size of the PowerPoint window. In this case, it may span multiple monitors. - Chirag PowerShow - View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html >I know how to get the information on the screens..How can I tell > whether powerpoint program (not the slide show) loads onto monitor 1 [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>> screen then if it loads on the secondary screen.
