This was written so I could move the active window to the other monitor regardless of what monitor it was on (for dual monitor setup).
There is a bug regarding Maximized windows. They move over 2 consecutive times.
I've compensated with +10 to the virtual width of the monitor. This causes the window not to line up after moving.

Also if others could test this on their dual monitor systems I'd like to know the results.
This actually is useful with a single monitor because you can temporarily move a window blocking your view.

id like to give you feedback but the script doesnt work.

---------------------------
dualmon.ahk
---------------------------
Error at line 6.

Line Text: If, (wx1 < 512)
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

It works great for me, except that the vertical position is referenced to the top of the virtual desktop area, which is bigger than my monitors (since the are not aligned vertically or horizontally)

I wonder how this will work on my six screen computer... I'll have to try that later.

the latest, maybe im doing something wrong?
i have been inactive in ahk for a while.
what i did was copying the text into a file called dualmon.ahk and run it.

Hey thanks for mentioning the if statement, I fixed it.

Wow engunneer you have six monitors! Can I play?

I don't actually have dual monitors at home. At work I have a couple dual monitor setups, but no time to enjoy AHK. I might make progress on this in the next week or two.

So I could probably adjust the virtual width or just add up the dimensions of the monitors. Hmmmm any other ideas?

i am in charge of a computer in work - basic old IBM laptop, except the external monitor is a 42" lcd HDTV, and it has the "sidecar" from digitaltigers.com, with 4 more 15" HP LCDs. we use it to display status updates of our projects at work, and it's an ahk script that takes screenshots from the database and shows 5 splashimages on the external screens.

not bad for about $3600 + the laptop

I came across this topic and thought I'd share mine. I made it a long time ago so it might not use some of the newer stuff.
It fixes the maximized window problem by un-maximizing it and re-maximizing it.
It was designed to work on 2 side-by-side monitors that have equal resolution.
