does anyone know how to build a vb program and have it display one thing on one display (say, the computer monitor)
and another thing on the other display (say, tv)

Please help
 
The way most people have them set up is to use them as a single extended desktop. So if your program opens multiple forms, the user can position them on either screen.

If your user has theirs set up with different resolutions, etc. you'll have to use some of the Windows API calls (sorry, never had the need to use them). Do a search in the Platform SDK docs on MSDN for multiple monitor support.
