Forums -> UltraMon™ -> SIMPLE multi-monitor switching w/touchscreen

I'll be honest. I'm more than frustrated. My needs are so simple, and I have been looking for days for this functionality. Here's the deal.

Config:
Port 1: HD Touchscreen & HD Large Screen on "Y" Adapter
Port 2: HD Large Screen

I have monitors in extended mode.

Function needed:
Hot swap between monitor 1 & 2. Just as if you were swapping cables between ports 1 and 2. Thats it!

Why am I needing to do this? I want to drive both monitors separately from the single touchscreen. Swapping the two monitors will allow this. I envision a gadget on both screens with a small monitor icon with a "1" and "2" in them respectively. I pick which one I want to swap as the primary display. DONE!

There are several multimonitor programs out there, and NONE of them do this, or do it correctly.

Please advise...

Do you want to mirror the touchscreen to either of the two other monitors, without changing cables?

I refrain from using the terminology "mirror" because I dont want anyone to misinterpret what I'm trying to do. I have heard many terms out there that sounded like it would do what I'm wanting. In simple terms, I want a one-click button to press on my desktop that will perform the same as if I were swapping the monitor cables on monitor 1 & 2. THats all!

What I want to do is essential swap everything from monitor 1 to monitor 2, and from monitor 2 to monitor 1 in one step. So the touchscreen now looks like monitor 2 did just prior, and I can interact with what was on monitor 2 on monitor 1. It really is quite simple. For some reason, its not simply said.

It would be possible to do this with a custom script, let me know if you're interested in this.
