Visilogic on Notebooks with 2 Displays

Visilogic on Notebooks with 2 Displays = DISASTER....

 

How to reproduce (and explain) the problem:

 

- Open Visilogic on a notebook with external monitor, in extended dektop mode (each screen has different image)

 

- Insert a new "Direct Contact" box (F5)

 

- When the pop-up asking for operand and address appears, move the pop-up to external monitor

 

- Enter some data and close it

 

- Double click on "Direct Contact"

 

- Pop-up asking for operand and address will appear on same place (external monitor)

 

- click Cancel

 

- Disconnect external monitor

 

- Double click on "Direct Contact"

 

- Pop-up asking for operand and address will appear on unreachable place (invalid coordinates of where external monitor was)

 

- All you can do is press ESC and stop working until you get an external monitor.

 

Solution:

 

When Visilogic opens any pop-up, it should check if coordinates are within visible area of desktop.

If not, relocate them to (10, 10)

Getting a window off a monitor that is no longer connected-

 

Try "Alt-Space" then "M" (Windows Move command) and use your arrow keys to drag it back.

Well, that did the trick!

 

I should have read read Windows manual...

 

Thank you very much!

It's very handy but I can never remember the Alt-space thing.  If you need it again remember to Google "move window shortcut".
