CDateTime and Multiple Monitors [message #37051]

Hi,

I am using CDateTime and its poping up on the primary screen, even when
I have the dialog which contains the CDateTime component on the
secondary monitor. Any workarounds to fix this?

Thanks
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

I have had something similar in my general RCP work.
It seems to be that sometimes Shells are not assigned to the same
Monitor as their parent. I have not been able to cure this problem
but I have been able to address the symptom.

Unfortunately I do not have a multiple monitor set-up available so
cannot submit tested code but I suggest you try something on the lines
of:

1. In the AbstractCombo.setOpen() method ...
2. Compare the Monitors of 'contentShell' and 'positionControl'
(using getMonitor())
3. If not equal() apply an offset to the Point 'location' derived by
comparing the Monitors' getBounds() values.

Hope this works - and if it does I suggest you submit it as a fix.

Mike E.

There is now a bugzilla entry to track this issue:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=198854

Please add comments there if you have new insights. What platform
(Windows, Linux, etc.) are you running when you see this?
