Get current (not main) display

Getting Started
1

I’m just getting started with JUCE, and I couldn’t find a definite way to get the Display object that my plugin is currently displayed in, as opposed to the main display that getMainDisplay provides (if I understand it correctly).

I intuitively understand the term “main” as the one configured at the OS level, which is normally expected to be fairly static, as oppsed to the “currently active one”, is this correct?

I’ve found some answers such as this one, that whilst it references current display in the title it accepted an answer to use getMainDisplay, and I also checked the Display documentation but it doesn’t seem to provide a method to check if it’s the currently active one.

Use a combination of JUCE: juce::Displays Class Reference and JUCE: juce::Component Class Reference.

Ah, that looks completely reasonable. Thanks, I’ll give it a go
