Hi,

I am using TCL/TK in a C application under windows XP.

My system has multiple displays. Is it possible to specify which monitor to
open the toplevel window on? Currently it allways opens on display 1.

If it is possible, is there a way of enumerating the screens that are
available.

I would like to be able to add a command line argument like -diaplay 2 to
tell the application to open the toplevel window on the second display.

Regards

Mark Munday

Does the -screen option documented on the Toplevel man page [1] and/or
the -display option described on the wish man page [2] do what you want?

Wish already handles -display "myserver:...." for you.
for new toplevels you can use the -screen option
