Select a single application window

Samir — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 10:52:21 GMT

Hi,

I want to implement an application sharing capability in a collaboratif tool and I think about using your product. So I want to know if we can share only a single application not entire desktop. If yes how we can do it?

An other question: Is it possible to manage control? ( allowing the control to a certain client)

Tank you in advance

queries/feature request

vivekgargs — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:58:46 GMT

Hi,

We have been evaluating the Server Component. Does the component have following features:

1. Does it support multiple monitors i.e. can we specify which monitor screen should be shared
2. Is it possible to share only specific part of the screen instead of the entire screen by specifying screen coordinates

We looked at the API but could not locate any method/property which would allow us to implement above mentioned features.

Regards
VG

DSM plugin

psmith — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 19:05:19 GMT

I'm curious about the RC4 key file used by the DSM plugin within the ActiveX Viewer/Server. Is their a way to send the RC4 key value as part of the HTML/Javascript that loads the ActiveX control or does a key file already have to exist on the client PC? I want to be able to use the DSM plugin without requiring my customers to download a key file. Any suggestions?

one vnc server and N vnc viewer through VNC repeater

pauljay — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 08:59:43 GMT

I am thinking about 1:N vnc connection through VNC repeater. How do I configure your VNC server Active X and VNC viewer through VNC repeater ?

In this case, the VNC server sends N data to each VNC viewer or VNC repeater take part in delivering N data to each VNC viewer ?

C# sample server, problems. Please Help

namwenio — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:08:33 GMT

This method cannot be used while the control running in the "design-time" mode.

I get this error every time I try to execute this code.

I need to be able to use the API, without adding it to a form.
The reason for this is because it will be run as a service on client machines.

How would I perform this funcionality?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace vnctester

{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
ServerX.CSC_ServerXControl XServer = new ServerX.CSC_ServerXControl();

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XServer.AddClientEx("an ip address", 5500, "ID:1234");
}
}
}

Vista UAC Protection

deX — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:58:57 GMT

Has anyone found a way around this?
Is there a way to get the active X to be automatically elevated?

Currently I have to get customers to Disable UAC and reboot then run again.

Any help/Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

change deault port

ningjih — Mon, 26 May 2008 20:13:47 GMT

I test the ServerX control, set the default port value to 15889, but it seems listening on 5900 port when the control intilizated.

MSI Installer?

jonm — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 23:58:05 GMT

It would really be great if there was a MSI installer for the activeX control. Basically, I want to deploy using a ClickOnce Application in .NET 2.0/VS2005. ClickOnce has a generic bootstrapper that can launch MSI files automatically. It would be nice if there was a MSI installer for the ActiveX control, especially a silent one, or at least one that did not require any user interaction. It should copy the .dll, run regsvr32 and quit. If I knew how to build a .MSI for it myself, I would.

how to know if a client is connected?

daniele.ciattaglia — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 06:47:36 GMT

Hi,
is there a method, properties or event to know if one or more clients are connected to the server?

thank you so much in advance

Dual monitor dilema

Alejux — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:43:05 GMT

Hello. I recently bought both the ServerX and ViewerX activeX.

I have a problem tough. I have a computer with 2 monitors, working on a "Dual View" mode, and I need to give VNC access to only one of the displays.

Right now, when a client logs in, he gets to see both displays meshed up together. Is there a way I can limit the visibility to just one display using the ServerX?

Thanks in advance

ServerX v1.1.0.0 Beta now available for download.

Support (s-code) — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:55:44 GMT

New build has lots of changes under the hood, improvements in performance and stability as well as:
- Support for HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy servers
- Ability to open "Add New Client" dialog using COM API exposed by Server

In the next beta refresh we are planning to add support “Show single window” feature.

Use COM+ to host ServerX VNC Server ActiveX

ningjih — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:31:10 GMT

I develop a COM+ component by using .net C# language, which has a form in the COM+, and I add VNC Server ActiveX to this form. All codes can be compiler no probelm and the COM can be registered to system.

Issue: System will prompt exception "Can not create this object ....., because this thread state was not an single thread apartment."

I had search more documents and can not found any documents to fix this problem, and I can not found method to mark my C# COM+ as STA.

Embedding in Java using SWT

tanktarta — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:36:38 GMT

Hi,

We are currently evalutating ServerX for use with Java. We have an SWT application and would like to embed the ServerX using its 'Ole' clases.

Everything seems to go well up to a point. We can locate the control abd set and get properties on it. However, when we try to either start the server in listen mode, or make an outgoing connecting to a viewer, nothing seems to happen.

I have attached the source in the hope that someone may have some experience with embedding in Java.

Thanks,

Brett Smith

general info on server possibilities and use

marc — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:44:51 GMT

Hello,

I was looking for some kind of manual on how to use the server, but i can't find any on the website.

Anyone already used it in a Delphi application ?

Thanks.

Proxy Support on the ServerX side.

l.baldini — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:27:53 GMT

I've seen that there is Proxy support on the ViewerX side... but what about proxy support on the ServerX side?

My idea is the following: use the ViewerX in listen mode and allow other people to call me using a ServerX application. What if the ServerX application is behind a Proxy Server?

NAT Traversal

psmith — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 08:42:28 GMT

Any change you might add support for NAT traversal using TCP hole-punching? The technique is pretty reliable and the performance gain over the repeater/proxy method would be tremendous! Cornell has a STUNT (Simple Traversal of UDP Through NATs and TCP too) reference implementation, which can be found at the following addresses:

how does uvnc repeater works ?

archimedes — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 22:10:50 GMT

is it only used to initiate the connection or the whole data passes through it and make it not possibe to use with large amounts of connections ?

ServerX started by a service

giaggi — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 04:55:35 GMT

Is possible ServerX to be started before the user logs in ?

I'm thinking to a service that starts at windows startup and that launches an application with Serverx embedded (obviuosly the application should not have any user interface at all).

If this scenario is feasible the pc could be controlled before the user logs in (the same way UltraVNC installed as a service does, for example).

Thanks

Getting ServerX to work on website

tlara@oasisnet.net — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 08:49:23 GMT

I have no idea were to start!
I have a web server that i am going to install ServerX VNC server on.

I am NOT a programmer so i don't know how to build the web interface to work with this program. Can anyone help me with this?

I know a little ASP and a little HTML, but that's about it!

Thanks,

Tony

VNC Server ActiviX + Proxy with authentication

diego — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 03:49:15 GMT

Hi all,
I need a way to connect my vnc viewer (directly or with a repeater) to a vnc server running on a pc in a network behind an http proxy with authentication.
With VNC Server ActivX it's possible? because it run on a web browser, It can do the authentication?

thank you

Cant establish remote connection

Ad — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 04:21:59 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to test the serverx control with a repeater in mode 2.

Repeater version is v.1.2.2.1

When adding a client in both the testapp which comes from you guys, and an app which I did, the repeater shows correctly "Server accept, 127.0.0.1:1234"

When I connect a viewer (from a different pc on same LAN) the viewer connection shows up correctly in the repeater but just waits there, saying connecting.

I also did a test on the same setup but instead of the serverx, I used the UltraVNC SC server and that worked perfectly.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Thanks

Adam

ASP (VB) .NET

deX — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 00:48:02 GMT

Just trying to get a simple example working with the following code

[quote]
Shared WithEvents Vnc As ServerX.CSC_ServerXControl

Protected Sub form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles form1.Load

Vnc = New ServerX.CSC_ServerXControl

With Vnc
.ShowTrayIcon = True
.RemoveWallpaper = True
.RemoveBackgroundPattern = True
End With
End Sub

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Vnc.AddClient("IP ADDRESS", 5505)
End Sub
[/quote]

When the button is pressed I get the error about "This method cannot be used while the control running in the "design-time" mode."
Any clues?

What do I do next with the ActiveX Control

tlara@oasisnet.net — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:25:47 GMT

Once you have the ActiveX control installed on your server what do you do next?

Insert the Active X Control into an HTML file?

How do I do this? I'm not sure where to start now! =)

Thanks for your help!

What about security?

jonm — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 22:30:17 GMT

I really like that VNC is wrapped up inside of an ActiveX control (although it would be cooler if it was a managed .NET assembly instead). Anyway, my fear is that once this activeX control is installed on a machine it could be used by any piece of software on the system to take control of the computer. We need some way to keep any arbitrary program from using it, like a software key or something (I'm not sure what the answer is). What if this control becomes popular? Imagine what would happen if spyware apps looked for the existence of the s-code vnc control and exploited it. or worse yet, copied a licensed version and distributed it with their own spyware?! There needs to be some sort of safeguard, but I have no idea what that should be.

FileTransfer Support??

jonm — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 01:58:50 GMT

Are there any plans for file transfer support?

Can't connect if windows is locked.

jonm — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:04:03 GMT

For some reason I cannot seem to connect if the server control if the PC running the server is locked. I've only tested on Windows 2003 and Vista RC1 (5600). My best guess at this point is that maybe it needs to be running as a system service. When you run UltraVNC server it wants to run as a service by default and it works fine if the PC is locked. Any ideas on this?

DisableLocalInputs

jonm — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 02:16:53 GMT

What does this property do? When I set it true I cannot see any difference. I'm guessing it disables the mouse and keyboard on the server when someone connects. However, the mouse and keyboard work great on the server no matter how this is set when a client connects. So either it doesn't work right, or I have no clue what it is actually for.

What will the licensing model be?

jonm — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 23:04:53 GMT

The type of licensing model will this control be sold under? Also, what is the estimated price range? It seems silly for me to try to develop software around a control that we may not even be able to afford. Any info would be great.

Demo code works great.

jonm — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 23:05:33 GMT

While more documentation would be greatly appreciated, the demo program actually seems to work quite well for beta software!

When Will It Be Released ?

Genie — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 12:30:54 GMT

Hope to find out from SmartCode when will this product be ready for public use ?
Is there a beta version which we can test ?

Thanks.
