Lost/Invisible Dialog

A dialog box can get lost if it was last viewed on a 2nd screen which is no longer present.
It seems to be impossible for GeoSurvey to find out from Windows whether
the 2nd screen is present or not. Windows report to GeoSurvey that the 2nd screen is present even when it is not.

The reason is that Windows mainly deals with Display Adaptors.
Thus Windows sees one display adptor which may have 1 or 2 screens attached at any time.

Summary: GeoSurvey cannot detect how many screens are present

Prevention

When you start GeoSurvey without the 2nd screen.
  1. Use the File/Program Settings/Reset Screen Window Position option to set all window positions onto the main screen.

How to Recover - 1

If a dialog is started (e.g. layers dlg) and it was last positioned on a screen that
is no longer present, you cannot see the dialog to close it.
In addition, you cannot proceed with GeoSurvey as it is waiting for the dialog to finish.
  1. Press the Esc key - that will often close the dialog.
  2. Then you can proceed with GeoSurvey.
  3. Then use the File/Program Settings/Reset Screen Window Position option to set all window positions onto the main screen.
