How to customize icfb start-up with 2 monitors?

AdamDaniels

I have just started working with a 2 monitor PC system.

I am running Windows XP locally, and connecting to the Linux server over XMing, or PuTTy. When I start icfb, the CIW and all pop-ups from the CIW are placed between the 2 monitors, as opposed to either the right or left monitor.

How do I rectify this, so that icfb opens in one monitor or the other? I am assuming that there is some way of specifying either the position, or the screen in either the .cdsenv, or .cdsinit files.

Many Thanks

Adam

    Adam,

    Look in <ICinstDir>/doc/dfIIconfig/dfIIconfig.pdf and search for formPlacement and optionFormPlacement (also formRelativeTo and optionFormRelativeTo).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
