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
