Forums -> UltraMon™ -> running a programe with screen switching
gadget   2009-05-16 01:01
hope someone can help , i would like to use Ultramon to switch from my Pc screen to my Plasma and when ultramon is asked to switch to the Plasma Tv i would like it to automaticaly open Media centre

i already have shorcuts working properly from 1 screen to the other Tv to Plasma , Plasma to Tv and i also have a working shortcut within VMCE which saves me having to go back to the desktop and i can use my remote to switch back from the Plasma to my Pc screen

but i need to add a run command somehow to start media centre on the Plas and i guess close it when switching away from the Plas

how would i go about adding run and close commands to the shorcuts created by Ultramon

please bear in mind i have never coded anything ever, i`m a user not a developer

any thoughts or help appreciated

I guess you only want to have one display enabled at a time, either the monitor or plasma?

You could do this with a custom shortcut to Media Center. Go to UltraMon menu > Shortcuts, then create a new shortcut and set the application field to C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe. Then configure custom display settings for the shortcut (monitor disabled, plasma as primary), and when you close Media Center, UltraMon will restore the original display settings.
