Process.Start and Dual Monitors

Question

if I'm using Process.Start to open a file from a C# WinForms app, is there any way to control which monitor the pdf (or whatever) opens in?

If you like (the illusion of) control you could also go and play with Adobe ActiveX controls. I don't neccesarily reccomend it. – Sochi

Answer 1

You'll need to do two things: get the window handle of the application (e.g. Acrobat Reader for a PDF) then move it to the monitor you want and Maximize.
