I generate forms from Designer, and I use a form template which includes this code in a when-new-form-instance trigger:

set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,window_state,maximize)

This worked just fine for my old group.  I have transferred to anew group, and some of my prospective users have dual monitor capability, and my forms, when opened by these users, take over both monitor screen.  Or rather, I think the mdi_window does: the data block canvases stay on a single screen; I'm guessing because they have a set size.  I want the form to stay within a single monitor.  Any neat solutions to this problem?  Ways to determine if dual monitors are being used, and code accordingly?  Or do I need to hard code a size for the mdi_window, using set_window_property?  My users may have different screen resolution settings, so I'd like to find a dynamic solution if possible.  Thanks for any helpful words anyone can offer!
