Dual monitor - How can a VI be programmatically sized and positioned?

[Novak]

I have a dual monitor setup and I'd like make an application that has one VI on each screen. I think the fact that I have dual monitors is irrelevant - all that I need to be able to do set the initial position and size of the two VIs - the second monitor is just a logical extension of the first, increasing the virtual resolution (i.e., 1024x768 + 1024x768 = 2048x768).
I realise that a VI can be set to be maximised through the File/VI Properties... menu option but this is not really what I want to do.

All suggestions are most welcome.

cheers,
Novak.

hi,
Attached is a simple vi that sized its fp and position the subvi within its designated position.

Hope you find it useful.
feedback welcome

Look at using the property node for the VI and set the window position.
The property you will likely use is the VI>>Front Panel Window>>Window
Bounds.
