Is there any possibilities to detect if mouse (cursor) is on 1st screen (Primary monitor) or Secondary monitor.

I don't have a second monitor so I can't test this idea myself BUT you might be able to check the mouse position and compare it to the results from the Primary Workspace Property (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvprop/app_dsplyprim_wrkspc/) to see if it falls within this boundary, if it does then the mouse is on the primary monitor if not then it must be on the secondary monitor. This is just my initial thinking, and there is probably a better way to do it, but I would think that this could work.
