hi
Can multicharts run on a dual and quad monitor setup on windows xp ?
i.e if i have the required hardware and drivers in place, can the multicharts span across all monitors ?
thanks
Multi monitors [SOLVED]
All the instances of MultiCharts use the same MCActiveX.exe server and it means that opening a new workspace won't considerably increase memory resources.1. Each instance of MC is using a lot of memory, which seems to be a complete waste of system resources.
We agree that it will be more convenient if MultiCharts remembers what workspaces should be opened on each monitor and will consider how to implement this feature in future.Today I save the workspaces opened in MC and when I start MC, it will open the last ones which were open again on startup. If I have I have to start several instances of MC, I will have to open all the workspaces also again which is cumbersome.

also if I want to compare 2 charts side-by-side, with detachable workspace/window, I can simply drag the window to the next monitor.
if not, I would have to open a 2nd workspace in the 2nd instance of MC, which would take time to draw, not to mention the pacing problem we encounter with IB.

why not let multicharts.exe take a commandline parameter that states which workspace to open at startup ?All the instances of MultiCharts use the same MCActiveX.exe server and it means that opening a new workspace won't considerably increase memory resources.1.

e.g
multicharts.exe /w ESworkspace.wsp
multicharts.exe /w DAXworkspace.wsp
that way users just create 2 different shortcuts
This could be an interim solution until you implement detachable workspaces....
