At the moment if I move an FH window (eg multimedia) to the right for it to be displayed in my second monitor, it moves part way but does not display.
Can it be displayed or is it a software limitation?
Thanks

Using a second monitor
Family Historian main windows display with in the program window, so extend the program window over both windows.
Personally I just undock the Properties Box and keep that on the second screen.

Using a second monitor
I have an external monitor on my laptop and two other laptops on my network configured as extra screens via purchased sofware called MaxiVista. This means I can have two FH instances running on two screens (for comparison purposes) with my browser on the third and the Properties window on the fourth. You have no idea how handy this can be until you try it; it saves so much time clicking between windows, cut and paste is a cinch and you have an overall 'window' on what you are trying to accomplish.
I've added my tuppenceworth here but I have a slight caveat. On other programs I use (sound and picture editing)I can scroll and zoom on any screen using the mouse so the fault is not with MaxiVista, but with FH I can only do this on screens which are to the right of or below my main screen. Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a cure/workaround or code likely to be written to overcome this?
