Both InfoMaker IDE and the compiled InfoMaker applications (.exe) have been improved to better support multiple monitors.
InfoMaker IDE improves support for multiple monitors, including:
-
The IDE main window can be freely moved across multiple screens.
-
The IDE main window (whether maximized or not) remembers its position on the primary or extended screen and automatically restores to the same position and screen on the next startup.
-
Internal window or dialog (such as System Options, etc.) opens on the same screen as the IDE main window. Once opened, they can be freely moved across multiple screens. However, there are a few exceptions:
-
The Help (launched from Help > Contents menu, F1 key, or from Windows Start menu, etc.) always opens on the primary screen the first time it is opened. After that, it remembers its position on the primary or extended screen and automatically restores to the same position and screen when opened again.
-
When a Web site or page (such as Help > Community Q&A, Online Product Manuals, etc.) is accessed from the IDE, it will be opened in the system default Web browser, and if the system default Web browser remembers its last position, it automatically restores to the same position and screen, otherwise, it launches on the primary screen by default. Likewise, system browsers (such as Windows File Explorer opened when you select "Open Containing Folder" in the IDE) have the same behavior.
-
The compiled application (.exe) can be freely moved across multiple screens. The application main window remembers its position on the primary or extended screen and restores to the same position and screen on the next startup.
Note
To benefit from the enhancements, you will need to compile the application as an executable and then run the application executable (rather than running the application from the IDE).
