Re: Here's a tough one

Take a look at some of the VB sites included in http://www.mvps.org. Randy
Birch is one I person remember who had a lot of API examples, but he's
certainly not the only one. Unless your needs are exceedingly exotic,
there's a good chance someone has already done the heavy lifting of
translating to VB.

I don't know how to do this but it would certainly involve low-level
Windows
APIs, i.e. there's nothing inherent in VB that would do it. I would
recommend asking in a more specialised Windows O/S group (sorry, not sure
which off-the-cuff) and then translating the solution into VB

Hiya all,

Does anyone know how to turn a single monitor on and off? I'm
not talking about power management, God knows I've searched those
functions. I mean adding a monitor to / removing a monitor from the
desktop in a multihead environment.
