The graphic controler (display card) we are using is one Leadtek (www.leadtek.com). Now, we have this problem: when we open a ComboBox pop up on the left side of the screen (first monitor) the pop up works fine; when we use the same pop up on the right side of the screen (second monitor), the pop up is shown on the left side again! You can see it clearly on the attached file. Do you know this behavior? Do you know some graphic controler that can handle this problem on the best way? Thanks, Paulo Attachment leftside.zip (573 Downloads)

And I'm using the official graphics card recommended by Siemens. As far as I know there is not a solution yet, but PLEASE correct me when someone knows how to solve this problem. I would be very happy to hear about it. with regards, ikkezelf

Nemo Posts: 3149 Rating: (171)	Hi, you should normally just use those graphic cards, which can be orderedin your WinCC/PCS7 catalogue. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/7727705 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/14564777 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/831486 In your Windows-system settings you can normaly choose the prefered screen.

Nemo Posts: 3149 Rating: (171)	Hi Ikkezelf, for WinCC picture-windows, you can choose the screen as mentioned in the FAQ. Placing Windows System-boxesshould bein principle possible but certainly needs a lot of C-scripting. => normally you should use WinCC picture windows and avoid Windows system boxes, which can cause big trouble in WinCC RT.... nemo

Ikkezelf Posts: 1084 Rating: (72)	To bad that the simatic logon pop-up box is a windows box. As well as the messageboxes. I was afraid that I needed to do something like that (the use of picture windows). at this moment I have choosen to display all boxes on my primary screen. with regards, ikkezelf
