Draft Dominator on Dual Screens? (2 Viewers)

[BigTex]

I have the Dual Screen up and running but I just want to show the Draft Board to the league (on the external monitor) and the DD on my lappy but it's not working.

Help me out.

TIA,

Tex

I did it last year, but have forgotten how. A search online (or maybe this forum?) should get you an answer. I THINK I just extended the screen to the right and then moved the draft board over. (it seems like i reduced the screen, moved it over and then used a 'handle' to make the screen width larger. Then I moved the draftboard to the right, and then moved the whole window.) That way, the left showed on my laptop screen and the right (with the draftboard) showed on the screen/TV (though you can't see it on your laptop unless you shift over to it(moving the bar on the bottom). (I didn't want them seeing my DD either ;-) ) But THIS year, I modified the draftboard (Grid Format) of MFL's "Live Draft Board" feature (look in the MFL forums to see how... it's not that hard) to show a color-coded draftboard that not only allows owners to input their own picks, but since it's part of the Sideline software, you don't have to input the rosters after the draft! I'll just connect a separate laptop to the projector, go to our online site to "Live Draft", and show that enhanced draftboard. The nice thing is, anyone using a computer can input their own draft picks directly onto it, even 'absent' owners. Or if the commissioner logs in as commissioner, he can input them. But if you decide to do as you originally planned, but can't figure out my 'answer', I THINK I got the instructions from the FBG forums, so a search should help you.

Maybe the answer MIGHT be in the applications / draft dominator forum. Hrmm

You need to set up your displays to "Extend" your screen onto the second monitor, not "Duplicate". Then launch Draft Dominator. By default it will be enlarged to full screen on 1 monitor. Click on the button top right to take it out of full screen mode. Then grab the bottom corner and drag it to enlarge it so it is visible across both monitors. Then launch the Draft Board and move it over to the projector display, while keeping your other windows on your laptop display.I just tried it using my TV for a second monitor and it worked without any problems.
