Abstract
The systems and methods of the present provide techniques for virtualizing, simulating or providing multiple displays for an environment having one display device or less display devices than desired. The techniques of the present invention virtualize a client's display environment by modifying and controlling the behavior and appearance of an application window displayed on the client based on a desired display layout for the client. The present invention provides a window message processing mechanism to intercept a selected message to a window of an application. The window message processing mechanism compares the behavior and appearance of the window in view of the desired display layout and modifies the message to display the window on the client based on the desired display layout. As such, the present invention processes selected window messages to translate the behavior or appearance of the window to the desired display layout.
