How to identify Monitors and Joysticks

[dougbinks]

I was going to link to this issue:

Identifying Monitor from Monitor Wall

I have a wall of monitors. I wish to identify which monitor is which in the array. All monitors names return the same “Generic PnP Monitor” I was considering using virtual cords but if the something changes with the OS setup then it is possible that the monitors virtual cords could change and identification in this way breaks. Windows identifies each monitor with a number and this number remains the same boot after reboot. The GLFW says the pointer and array ordinal may change at each disco…

Then I realised you wrote that question as well!

The issue I linked to for monitors remains open:

Monitor UUIDs

For joysticks there is a function for getting a GUID: glfwGetJoystickGUID.
