Using a projector

[timlglass]

hey guys,

im wondeirng if any of you can help me. Im trying to do a program for some computing coursework and have a slight problem.

I need to be able to have a dual screen setup. I need to plug a projector into a laptop or PC and have a user inteface on the PC but then a different output to the projector.

Does anybody now how this is possible. I have attempted a couple of methods however with no luck so far.

Thanks for any help recieved!

Separate forms and a dual monitor setup on the laptop side should bring joy to your life ;-)
Drag the desired outputform to the second monitor, maximize it and your on!

Im actually needing to have two separate displays at once. Im thinking i would need to use DirectX. Does anybody know how to use DirectX to do such?

That will give you a display on your screen and a different display on the projector.
