I have a laptop connected to an external monitor. Need to do a presentation where I have Powerpoint open on one screen and Excel on another screen and toggle the external screen
So: the laptop screen should always show Excel but the external screen should show either PP or Excel.
I put display into extended mode, put PP on a second screen. so far so good. But then I need to switch external screen to Excel. If I change to Duplicate mode, my PP moves to the main screen and I cannot switch easily back.
Is there a way to quickly and easy switch only the external monitor between main and extended screens?
You need to be on Extended Mode always. Based on your requirement, you can manually drag the respective Application (in your case Excel/PowerPoint) to whichever screen you want.
You also can tweak the PowerPoint Slide Show setting to define which monitor to use and also whether to use Presenter View or not (refer screenshot)
Hope this helps!

I built a cross platform application to run it on Android. I use a TEdit to get the numbers and a Label to show the result of the calculation.
(This function is already running).
Is there any way to show a calculator keyboard whenever I click into to an TEdit object?
It shouldnt just pop-up like a second form I built in.
Set the TEdit.KeyboardType property to either TVirtualKeyboardType.NumbersAndPunctuation or TVirtualKeyboardType.NumberPad as needed. When the user gives focus to the TEdit, it will display the OS's standard virtual keyboard in the appropriate layout.
In Generic Inquiries, I've noticed that certain fields automatically have hyperlink functionality to open specific screens. I'm not sure what determines what screens these open (I'd imagine its based on whether its a key field for a maintenance table/DAC, etc.) - but I've also noticed that the manner in which it opens a screen is different for different fields / field types. Some open a popup with no menu, others open in the same screen space as the Generic Inquiry, and in doing so replace it in the browser.
My question is this: Is there a way to modify, in the GI setup, the manner in which it opens the screen so that it always opens as a replacement instead of a popup window?
If I remember correctly, with Acumatica ERP ver. 6.0 on the Generic Inquiries' Navigation tab there was added Window Mode drop-down to configure how the screen is opened from hyperlinks in a given GI:
Whenever I open a new labview project, it opens two small windows, one for the block diagram and the front panel. Since using labview effectively requires simultaneous use of both, is it possible to set things up such that, upon starting a new VI, it opens these two windows in pre-determined positions and sizes?
I do not know setting to do so (and think there is no such setting), but your problem is easily solvable if you press ctrl+t when new vi is opened.
ctrl+t will set front panel on the left half part of the screen and block diagram on the right part. Pressing ctrl+t a second time will set the panel to top half and diagram to the bottom half.

Another workaround:
Create a new empty VI
Resize and reposition the front panel window as you wish
Do the same for the block diagram window
Save the VI as a template (.vit)
Double click the template to use it (position and size of windows will be as they were when saving)
Alternatively if you want to be doing manually everytime. You can press WIN+LEFT on one of the windows and WIN+RIGHT on the other. This will evenly distribute the two windows over the screen.
You can set window position for individual VIs by pressing Ctrl+I to open the VI properties, and setting the desired appearance under "Window Size"
I am trying to create a dockable window in Qt (it sits taking 4px width at the edge of the screen, always on top and it slides out when you hover it). I have to use WindowFlag BypassX11WindowManager (in order to hide taskbar hint, disable moving/resizing/etc. from window manager). I use these flags:
Qt::FramelessWindowHint
Qt::CustomizeWindowHint
Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint
Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint
When I need my dock to be activated, I use the activateWindow() method. However, I have no idea, how to deactivate it.
Is there a way I can force my window deactivate? Now I can do it only by clicking another window and then return to the one that was active before revealing dock.
You should be able to use ->hide() to simply hide it if you don't want it to appear at certain points.
I assume, by the way, you know there is QDockWidget/ class that may help you as well. It's unclear from the above if you're using it or not.
Is it possible to detach the design preview from the code view, for use on the second monitor?
If you don't like Split view (vertical or horizontal) you can put the code view portion on another monitor by using the Code Inspector (Window -> Code Inspector, or F10 on Windows, I think CMD+F10 on Mac ). The Code Inspector is a floating panel that you can place wherever you want. If you make changes in the Code Inspector you need to refresh the document, (F5 on Win and Mac) so that the updates will migrate over.
Beyond that you'll need to live with it unless you stretch Dreamweaver such that it spans 2 monitors and then use split view and adjust the split point.
When you working on localhost try this:
Monitor 1: dw code view
Monitor 2: Firefox with Auto Reload Add-on (Reload page automatically when selected local files are changed.)
You will have better results...
