Move VS Pro X3 onto extended display

Post by brucemas »

Hi All,

I use two monitors (like probably most of us). How can I get VS Pro X3 onto the extended monitor. It is by far the larger and where I do my serious work. I use a laptop so I cannot just swap cables. I have searched but for some reason I am just not finding a way to do this. It is a real problem doing work on the little screen leaving the big one to do mediocre tasks.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce

Sounds like a video card setting to me.

Not quite. I have a second display too which is set to be extended display. If I want to have VS in that display I also don't know how to make it come up on that display. If I move the initial splash screen menu there, it still comes up in the main display. I know of no way to move it to the extended display. VS does not have a normal banner where one can make it not maximized so one can move the whole window there and then maximize it again. I think this is a limitation of VS... Al

Does anyone know if it is possible to detach the prieview window in VS and have it on a seperate monitor? I think this would be very useful if you can do it but I have searched and cannot find any information on if this is possible

No it isn't. It is something I questioned during beta testing and was told it was something they might look at later :)
