Multiple Monitors

[Harry]

Hello Board,

 

Is there a way i can open 3 new windows (for example) and script them to different monitors?

 

If I had a 3 head card with 3 monitors, can I put one window in each and build a video wall with timed scripts changing content?

 

I have opened new windows and placed them at positions on a screen, at a certain size. Is this the only way to try something like this? 
 

If my desktop is one across the monitors, i could just place them where i need their corners and size to suit.

 

What does everyone think?

FileMaker has script steps that allow you to move and resize windows.

[Harry]

Yes, thank you. I was wondering if this is the way to go when addressing multiple headed systems or if there is another method to explore.

Are you wanting something like kiosk mode? I don't know if that supports multiple monitors, but I suspect it doesn't.

[Harry]

It doesn't have to be kiosk mode, no. I'm not overly familiar with kiosk mode - but we could/would run a FMP13 installation with minimal menus. I will have a look at kiosk mode usage.

You could also try running multiple copies of FileMaker. Works best on Mac.

Like 3 different authorisation coded installations for 3 monitors on one machine?

[Fitch]

Yes, or even three runtimes.
