Hi everyone! I have to develop an app in Vb net that controls another program with a buttons console. The controlling app will be displayed on HDMI1 (therefore on the main monitor), while the controlled program will be displayed on HDMI2 (connected to a video projector). Can anyone tell me if there is a way to view the output image on HDMI2 in the control app form on HDMI1 (maybe in a panel)?  Many thanks to anyone who will point me in the right direction!

What I have tried:

I didn't find anything on the net... :-(

You're overthinking this. This has nothing to do with HDMI1 and HDMI2. To Windows, and your app, the projector is just another monitor and you can extend the desktop to occupy both monitors. Just drag the app to be controlled to the projector. That's it.
