Hi,
I have two monitors which run:
Primary: 1600x1200.
Secondary: 1024x768.
I have a specific program which I use mostly which detects multiple monitors and stretchs itself across both monitors. When I hit maximise, also it stretches itself across both monitors. I am constantly manually resizing the program to my primary monitor in order to use the program effectivly. I would like to restrict the program and maximise it to my primary monitor only.
Is there a addon or a piece of software that can do that for me?
Cheers in advance,
Monkey.

Hi Monkey,
UltraMon can't change the behavior of the maximize button for this application, but you could use the Shortcuts feature or a custom script to position and size the application window.

Thanks Christian.
I think the shortcut method would have worked well if the main program wasn't called from a within a bat file. It correctly positions and stretches the dos window rather than the called program.
I think that a custom script will need to be created. How do you make custom scripts for Ultramon?
Cheers,
Monkey.

See UltraMon Help > Scripting for more on scripting.
I have uploaded a script which moves and resizes the foreground (active) window to fit the primary monitor: FitMonitor.zip.
To run the script, assign a hotkey to it by creating a new 'Run application or script' hotkey under Options > Hotkeys.

Thanks for the help.
