About Alex Barry
Expertise
I have been a qbasic programmer since 2000, creating games, minor libraries and various small programs. I have experience using interrupts, graphics, file input/output, the mouse cursor, and using libraries. I have also learned FreeBASIC, c/c++, python, php and html.
I do not claim to be an absolute authority in any language, but I don't mind looking things up and learning with you.

Experience
Hobby programming since 2000

I no longer belong to any community programming groups, but do have knowledge of *basic dialect and C/C++

Question
I use to write programs in Dark Basic Proffesional, it is possible to write graphic applications both in windowed mode and full screen mode but only on the primary monitor. Dark Basic Professional has a way to run external dlls. I would like to write a dll to switch the graphic commands to a secondary monitor, is it possible? is there any library that can do this? Thank you.

Answer
Hi, Oscar,

Your question had me doing quite a bit of research.  Sadly, I couldn't find anything already made, but luckily, I wrote my own DLL that you can use :)

The API I wrote has been tested, but there is probably some bugs in it.

Anyway, here's the link:

or a direct download here:

I'm not sure how DarkBASIC handles headers, but you should be able to figure out how to load it and use it.

Hope that helps,

Alex
