My Radeon VE 7200 can either expand the display size so that the desktop 
spans both monitors, or clone the primary display so that both displays 
are identical - this mode is quite useless, except for presentations...

In the first mode, however, an add-on software ensures that no window is 
larger than half of the desktop, so when it's maximized, it fills only 
one monitor. However, this software doesn't work well, as centered 
windows are always visible on both monitors....

I suppose that there is no fully featured dual desktop mode, but only 
the emulation mode you mentioned - in this mode, of course, 
EnumDisplayMonitors() and all the other functions must fail.

Now, since you're using this mode too: How do you create a borderless 
TForm, windowstate = wsMaximized, so that it doesn't span both monitors ???

Thanks,
Ron
