Solaris/SPARC with Multi-Monitors

[Rayven]

I am looking into using Qt on Solaris/SPARC machines, running Solaris 8 and 9, and with 4 monitors. The monitors are not using a spanning desktop, i.e. you cannot drag a window from one monitor to another. The question was asked if Qt can display a new window on a different monitor? For example, the application is started from monitor 0 and the main window displays. Then I want a plot window to be opened on monitor 1 and a status window on monitor 2. Is it possible to do this in Qt, or is that a limit of the OS?

Thanks

You can open new applications on any screen you choose. This is a function of X11, not Qt. However, opening dialogs on a screen other than their parent application is considered bad form. It's possible to do it, but it's hackish.

See QDesktopWidget for a tiny bit of information on this topic.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks yet again Brandybuck!!
