TFullScreenTool on a two-monitor system

I have a two-monitor system. When I activate the TFullScreenTool object, it shows the chart on both monitors. Any way to limit it to one monitor?

Hi TestAlways,

I'm afraid this will depend on your graphic card driver options for managing dual screen settings and Delphi handling of this setup when maximizing a window. Can you maximaze a Delphi form to be in one monitor only?

Yes.

Hi TestAlways,

Thanks for the information. I've added your rquest to our wish-list to be investigated and implemented for next releases.

Hello,

I seem to have te same problem, with the exception that only the part on the main monitor is shown.

I have a dual monitor system (main monitor: 1680x1050, secundairy monitor: 1440x900).
All other (Delphi) forms and windows are maximized on the main monitor only.
When i activate the TFullScreenTool, the chart is maximized on both monitors, but i only see the part on the main monitor.
the part which should be shown on the secundairy monitor is not visible.

Screenshot:

As you can see, the left part of the chart is missing. I reckon that by limiting TFullScreenTool to one monitor all data
would be shown correctly.

Hi Willem,

Thanks for reporting. I have reproduced something similar but not identical. This may depending on monitors and graphics card drivers. I've seen that if the main monitor is the left-one the chart renders correctly but doesn't respect the main monitor, it occupies both screens. If the main monitor is the one of the right things are worse, as in your case. I have updated TV52013157's description and increased its priority to be investigated for future releases.

Hi Narcís,

Than you for the fast reply.
To confirm your findings, i have just tested switching the monitors and you are correct.
If the main monitor is on the left, i get the whole chart on both monitors.

Best regards,
Willem
