I don't remember where I read it a couple of years ago.
But, to click on a call to add to your log entry, it must be in the main window. You can move other things to the second monitor, but should have your clone in the main window.

Good luck.

Hi all,

After many months (years?) of not plucking up the courage to activate
XMMT.OCX, I finally got around to doing this last week while I was off work,
ready for the Roundup.
The reason was to allow me to use 2Tone in a cloned window, and once I read
the instructions from Don AA5AU, I got it all configured and working a treat
- apart from one small issue!

I use 2 monitors in my shack, just for space to have enough windows open to
see what I want.

On the main window, I have the RTTYRite decoder window running MMTTY, so I
opened a clone window for 2Tone, and put this on my second monitor.
One of the points that Don made was that you could click on a call in EITHER
window and it would populate the entry window.

It didn't, but I was able to right-click on a highlighted call and select
Enter on Bandmap. That worked, so that was how I continued in the contest
last weekend.

Last night, I emailed Don, asking where it was on his site that I saw the
info that I could click on a call in the cloned window, and he pointed me to
it, so I was puzzled.
In one of those lightbulb moments, I just tried moving the cloned RTTYRote
window to the main screen, and yes, I could click on a call and it populated
the entry window.

Is this an anomaly, or is there something I have missed elsewhere? Could be
one of those "can't see the trees" moments, or a senior moment!

Anyone else seeing the same, or is it me?
