I am not aware of any application that can show QT on the secondary monitor. I believe this is a restriction in QT. It also appears in PC software, so it may have to do with the graphics chips.

I have a program that plays a video in a window. When the users wants to go
to full screen, the program gets the current screen the window is in, then
releases it, then it creates a new window in that screen with a window level
that the CGShieldingWindowLevel() function returns.

This works just fine for the main screen, but in a secondary screen it seems
to cover the secondary monitor with a black window, but it does not display
anything in it. It's always black. But when on the main monitor it
displays the movie just fine.

Can anyone help? I need to fix this fast... Any help would be appreciated!


Here is basically what the code does when it goes full screen:

NSScreen *theScreen = [mainWindow screen];

[mainWindow orderOut:self];
[mainWindow release];

screenRect = [theScreen frame];

windowLevel = CGShieldingWindowLevel();

mainWindow = [[NSWindow alloc]
initWithContentRect:screenRect
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO
screen:[NSScreen mainScreen]];

[mainWindow setLevel:windowLevel];
