Hi,

I'm working on a project where we are looking to distribute ruggedized field pc's for outdoor use. In the users car they will have a secure docking box and a 7" display on the dashboard. The display is attached to the docking box as a regular vga screen. The screen is used in the car for a navigational tool.
What we would like is that when the pc docks, the 7" display is turned on without any intervention of the user. Is that a functionality that Ultramon can deliver or that can be created using the API?
Does anyone have any experience with similar operations?

Can't be done with UltraMon, also not with a custom script, but it would probably be possible with a custom application, as far as I know Windows does notify applications when a new device gets connected.

Would a USB video adapter help with any of this, since Windows does automatically detect USB devices when they are attached?
