I see that forms that were positioned on a second monitor when the file is saved and closed will repositon to the main screen when the file is reopened. If you use openform
with the “Rectangle” option set to a value that should open the form on a second monitor it still opens on the main screen. However, if I then use zoomwindow
with those same values it moves to the second monitor just as expected. Seems odd that the openform options work differently than zoomwindow does. This means that a form must first be opened on the main screen and then shifted to the second screen.
On a somewhat related note, I notice that the form blueprint generated using the Blueprint tool or from the Form menu in graphics mode does not include the window size and position. This is true with either “Entire Form…” or “Form Options…” choice. If I use a procedure with formblueprint
on the same form in either Data or Graphics mode the blueprint does contain the position and size of the form window.
