Tips & Tricks:
To change the postion of a secondary device it is very important to use dmPositionX and dmPositionY from DEVMODE (see structs).
First i tried it with a PointL struct dmPosition.x and dmPosition.y until i luckily found this page:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa719104(vs.71).aspx
Sample Code:
DISPLAY_DEVICE d = new DISPLAY_DEVICE();
DEVMODE dm = new DEVMODE();
d.cb = Marshal.SizeOf(d);
int deviceID=1; // This is only for my device setting. Go through the whole EnumDisplayDevices to find your device
EnumDisplayDevices(null,deviceID, ref d, 0); //
EnumDisplaySettings(d.DeviceName, 0, ref dm);
dm.dmPelsWidth = 1024;
dm.dmPelsHeight = 768;
dm.dmPositionX = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right;
dm.dmFields = DM.Position | DM.PelsWidth | DM.PelsHeight;
ChangeDisplaySettingsEx(d.DeviceName, ref dm, IntPtr.Zero, CDS_UPDATEREGISTRY, IntPtr.Zero);
