Multimonitor Window
« on: July 31, 2012, 07:08:28 am »
Hello. I've been doing a lot of searching using both the site's search feature and google, but I couldn't find any answers.

From what I understand, SFML doesn't support 2 fullscreen windows. Is it possible to make a single non-fullscreen (but unstyled) that extends between multiple displays? If so, is there a way to detect the total resolution (or min and max extents, in case the monitors are sized differently)

Thank you.

SFML has currently no clean support for multiple monitors. Apparently, what you want to do doesn't work. There was a thread about it on the forum, if you can find it.

You can call OS calls specific to your platform to determine the number of monitors and add the sizes up and make a single window.  I am doing something similar by opted to use two windows putting each window on monitor.  Attached is a modified main.cpp from the template for MacOS that shows how it works on the Mac.  I'm new to SFML so I don't know if my way of doing multiple windows is kosher or not, but it seems to work.
