Hello, I've got the 17" Industrial panel, and I'm trying to set up a second monitor for a process overview screen. How do I do that - create the second screen that is. I have a TV attached as the monitor, but I don't know how to get the second form in VB created.
I have not dealt with VB much at all, and all of my HMI experience is Allen-Bradley PanelView and older PanelMate controls. This seems to have a steep learning curve, hopefully I'll figure it out before our go-live date, but the lack of documentation is frustrating.

I'm guessing it will be something like creating a second MainForm, but I'm not sure how the panel loads the files on boot. Do I just put a second .sln file in the root directory of the thumb drive? What would I name it?

It has been a long time since I have done this, but you need to create another form, show it, then dock it onto the second monitor. I would have to search for the code to remember how to dock the form onto the second monitor
