Just create a dialog after your mainwindow? You can have as much windows as you want (MessageBox'es are windows too).

You might have some use at from an article I saw in the sweet snippits section.


What was it called.... Multiple Monitor Support Code.


But I believe that was for when you have more than 1 video card or something...

I haven't tried using a dualscreen app, since I don't have any means of testing.
