OSD Time

[QM Assistant]

Hey, I apologize if this has been asked already, I tried a quick search of the forum but there were so many topics on OSD that I couldn't find the answer. I'm sure it's simple and i'm just having a brain fart, but I have an additional monitor setup to the right of my laptop, for a dual monitor. And first off when I tried OSD, it puts the text on the laptop rather then the additional monitor. I wanted the OSD to display the time in the upper right hand corner of my extra monitor, so I didn't have to go to my laptop's screens taskbar, to see the time.

Code:

str s
s.time("%X")

OnScreenDisplay s

I haven't used OSD in such a long time, I can't remember how it works. I tried this code just to see if it works, but it only displays the current time rather then continuously displaying the current time. I figure %X is just for the current time, but is there a better way to get this to work?

Overall, I want to have an OSD of the current time in the upper right hand corner of my extra monitor, that is located to the right of my laptop(1024x768).

int i
for i 0 1000000000
,str s=i
,OnScreenDisplay s 1 -1 -30 "" 15 0xff0000 2 "tim4924"

;Code to stop it:
;shutdown -6 0 "TimerFunctionName"

------

Read in OnScreenDisplay help:
The text is displayed on the monitor specified by the _monitor variable. By default it is the primary monitor. Read more in QM help.

Well thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I was just putting something together that should have given me a similar result but this works. Thank you very much.
