Hi!
I have my PC connected to a 20-inch IBM LCD monitor and to a 46-inch Samsung LCD TV. I have created a script to move VLC between the two displays. What I want to do is make VLC go full-screen when it's "sent" to the Samsung LCD TV, and have it go back to windowed state when I send it back to the IBM LCD monitor. I figure I need a way to detect which monitor is hosting VLC, so i know when to make it full screen or not.
Any help would be much appreciated!

You could do this with code like this:<![CDATA[Set wnd = CreateObject("UltraMon.Window")
If wnd.GetForegroundWindow() = True Then
MsgBox "Foreground window is on monitor " & wnd.Monitor & "."
End If]]>

Thanks, it worked like a charm. One more thing if you don't mind...
How do you detect if an application is running full-screen, windowed, or minimized?

You can check the window object's ShowState property.
Fullscreen mode may have SHOWSTATE_NORMAL though just like windowed mode, this depends on how the application implements fullscreen mode.

Thanks again!
How would I access the window title of the foreground window? I need to determine if VLC is the current foreground window.

You can do this with the window object's Title property.
