Hello,
On a multi-monitor Windows Alert are always shown on default (primary) monitor even if it owner form is on a secondary monitor.
How to show Alert of the same monitor of it owner form ?
How to reproduce : In a multi-monitor Windows launch your demo "AlertWindowDemoMain" move main form on a second monitor. Alter are always displayed on the primary monitor.
Problem it is that more and more end user have multi-monitor…
Best regards,
Fabrice

Hello Fabrice,
This functionality is not supported by default. However, I understand your idea and we will consider the possibility to change our current behavior for working with multi-monitor Windows in future versions of our controls.
For now, you can try to change the WorkArea function in the dxAlertWindow unit to the following:
Delphifunction WorkArea: TRect;
begin
Result := Screen.MonitorFromWindow(Application.MainForm.Handle).WorkareaRect;
end;
Note that if a project form is placed to the other monitor, new Alter Windows will be created there, but taking into account already existing Alert Windows on the first monitor (i.e. upper than existing ones).
Hi Mikhail,
It's work fine.
Like always thank you for your quick and efficient solution.
But I think that add a new property in dxAlertWindow to do that could be fine for a future evolution ?
Best regards,
Fabrice
