EA MessageBox displays on monitor not displaying MT4

New comment
 

Hi;

Got hardware setup to trade MT4 as follows:

Laptop with second monitor attached which is used for MT4 only.  Works just fine.

Except; messages displayed by the EA on screen using MT4 MessageBox command are always shown on the laptop monitor not the monitor I use for MT4 trading.

Why is that and how can I fix that?

Thanks

This sounds like an MS Windows secondary display issue. Go to your Windows Settings/Control Panel ==> Display, and configure the priority of your monitors.

 

Thank you.

Tried changing the refresh rate, does nothing regarding my issue.

Set monitor 2 (detachable monitor) to priority monitor and it changes entire layout.

I'll just leave it the way it is.


Thank you for the response.
