Hi, we currently have two computer operator workstations. We are now moving to integrate the two computers into one and then have a dual monitor setup. The critical component is the applications must remain on the same monitor as they did before.
In looking through the available scripts I see that the LaunchApp script would work perfectly in this situation for opening a shortcut and having the program appear in a defined monitor. That's all great, but the other issue is we need to be able to limit the operator's ability to move the window to the other monitor.
I see the SaveWndPos and RestoreWndPos scripts which may be the solution to this problem where I would just run the RestoreWndPos on a timer to make sure the windows are where they should be. The only issue with this solution is the windows that are maximized full screen flicker when restoring the window positions. I see them momentarily return to the nonmaximized position and then become remaximized after the restore is complete.
Would it be possible to add an option to the RestorePositions call to specificy not to show the updating? I know MS Excel has a feature like this when running a macro: Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Or do you know of another solution to detect when a window is being moved to the other monitor and prevent this action?
thanks so much!

UltraMon has no special support for this, unfortunately there is no option to prevent screen redrawing when repositioning windows.
Would both operators work at the system at the same time (via keyboard or mouse)?
If yes, you would need multi-user software like BeTwin, this would also fix the problem with applications getting moved to the wrong monitor.
