Multiple monitors

Does FlowStone have support for multiple monitors? I need three in my application.

Multiple monitors usually appear to the PC as one big monitor, so you just need to make you FlowSone GUI wide enough.

Thanks, but that requires all monitors to be the same resolution to work well.
I was planning to have one, maybe two, 16:9 monitor for video, and one 4:3 for telemetry.

How do I make the GUI wide enough? I was able to fit the first screen (1920x1080) on the front panel of my module, but that's about as big as I can get it. The workspace isn't wide enough for any bigger front panels.

hello,
i think it depends on the video driver and i remember on my old pc that ati catalyst was capable of using multiple monitors as one big screen, so in that case full screen fills all monitors, but on my actual nvidia based pc, that's not possible, because full screen expands only on the monitor where the application is launched.
In my opinion you have 2 alternatives:

    launch your application in normal mode(not full screen) and set the width equal to the sum of your displays width resolution and the height equal to the display with the lower resolution(it's better to have all displays with the same height).

    Alternatively you could split your application in 3 standalone applications(each one on one display) communicating over the network module.

Thanks Sal, I probably have to go for the network option to get it to work the way I need. That means I have to upgrade to Pro. :|
