Multiple Screens #11

Is it possible to get this working on multiple screens? I can't see an option for this in the compile section... -edit forgot to say, nice work!

Do you mean multiple monitors? I use two monitors and it "just works", but file an issue if it doesn't and I'll look into it.

I have a slightly different situation. I have a laptop and a monitor connected to it. I run the executable as admin (although same issue if i run it normally). However I only get a "hotcorner" on my laptop screen and not on the connected monitor. I'm assuming your two monitors are connected to a desktop?

Just a guess and further info: I am running a desktop with 2 monitors. When running the precompiled 1.3, only my "main" display has the hotcorner. My monitors are of different sizes and different resolutions however so I am unsure if the app is detecting coordinates for the corner of my main which does not map to the other monitor?

I dont need it to give a hotcorner on both monitors however, this is fine for my needs. Thanks!

Not a bad guess, my laptop display is a different res to the monitor so it could be that. A hot corner on my main monitor is great although would be nice to have it on both, not the end of the world though.

For me, it only works on the main monitor, having three monitors all equal in size. Edit: Maybe a more hard-to-solve problem than I originally thought: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/34bd062d-2100-4925-bdfa-9f98b881e7dc/winapi-getcursorpos-returning-incorrect-pointers-with-multiple-monitors?forum=vcgeneral

Yeah, my setup is now a desktop with 2 monitors of equal resolution and as before I only get the hotcorner on the primary display. Although it's still fine for what I need.

Oh I hadn't noticed that, I might take a look at it post exams if I get the chance and see if there's a solution for my setup. If I find one then I'll be sure to share it in the case it works for others :)

@distraktd Just go ahead and compile and use pull request #12 ... that does what you are looking for in a great way... I do use it on Windows 10 and even on a Win Server 2016 we have for development.
