The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q314991

SUMMARY

Microsoft does not support the use of Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) to design applications that are intended for environments with multiple monitors.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the VB6 IDE in an environment that has multiple monitors. However, VB6 was not designed or tested for that environment. For example, the properties of the screen object only reflect the primary monitor settings, and VB6 does not provide functions or objects that enable you to specifically access multiple monitors.

You can call Microsoft Windows APIs from a VB6 application to use the support that is provided by the operating system. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
