Changing timeout value

vivekgargs — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:45:56 GMT

Hi,

We are currently using VNC ViewerX component. We wish to establish a direct connection with VNC server and should it fail for some reason we would want to go through a repeater.

Query: When our direct connection fails VNC ViewerX takes 20 seconds to notify our application and then we initiate a connection through repeater. We want to reduce the notification timeout value from the current default of 20 seconds. We are unable to find any such property in the component.

Please Advise and comment.

Is full Desktop / switch monitor supported

pixvertex — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:39:55 GMT

I need to export a dual monitor setup. Which work great if you install the video hook driver.

The switch for changing to monitor 1 / Monitor 2 / Monitor1&2 can only invoked by the ultra vnc viewer.

I didn't find a command in your product to do so. Or did i missed something.

Thanks

Color depth

daniele.ciattaglia — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:13:22 GMT

Hi everyone,

i would like to let the user decide the quality of the image or color depth in their connection.

How can i do that?
It's possible to do that?
It's possible to see the changes realtime? (like vnc for example that let me choose the color depth in my connection)

Should i use the JPEGCompressionLevel or CustomCompressionLevel properties?

thank you so much in advance
Best regards

Keyboard and ViewOnly flag

l.baldini — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:22:29 GMT

Hi, I have a simple question... when the ViewOnly flag is set to FALSE every key I press is sent directly to the ServerX. Is there a way of detecting what I'm pressing before the key gets sent?

What I'm trying to do is the following: allow the user to go to Fullscreen mode than ask him to press, for example, CTRL-ALT-F5 to go back to normal mode...

I've tryied using the PreTranslateMessage of my CDialog form but it works only if the ViewOnly flag is set to FALSE...

Thanks,

Luca Baldini

ViewerX best performances on slow networks

l.baldini — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 02:47:43 GMT

Hi, I'm interested in using the viewerX-serverX in a very slow network.

For this I'd like to know what are the settings I should use in order to maximize performance on this very slow network. I've tryied several changes but I'm not yet fully satisfied.

Now I'm using the following:

CopyRect = TRUE
Encoding = RFB_ZLIBHEX
JPEGCompression = TRUE
JPEGCompressionLevel = 6
RestrictPixel = TRUE

Is there something better than this?

Thanks,

Luca Baldini

is there a documentations for known issues ?

whats are the popular solutions ?

thanx,

on what web-based(!) vnc's does the viewer support chat and filetransfer, if any ?

archimedes — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 20:24:18 GMT

i need a web based vnc server that the viewer supports theses functions on it.

Airegin — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 19:12:18 GMT

On the side bar at http://www.s-code.com/products/viewerx/ says "ViewerX VNC Viewer ActiveX
2.8.1.1 (March 7, 2007)" But when you click on download (http://www.s-code.com/products/viewerx/download.aspx) it has the 2.8.1.0. how do I get the 2.8.1.1 version?

UltraVNC Repeater

Waeric — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 14:04:07 GMT

I need some help with using the UltraVNC Repeater, we have it set up for Mode II to be used with the SmartCode solutions. It is set up on a server that is out on the internet with ports 5500, 5900 + 5901 all open to it. We can connect with UltraVNC Server + SmartCode Server to the repeater and it shows up on the log. We can then use SmartCode Viewer or UltraVNC Viewer and connect; the problem is the speed. To say it is slow would be an understatement, it connects and waits for about 3-5mins before showing the screen. It then takes about 3-5mins to do a normal refresh as well. I'm wondering if I have the setup wrong or if it just does not like transmitting through NAT - NAT communications. Which is what I thought it was build for in Mode II?

Any help would be appreciated!

Chat Customization

ama_fullstep — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:55:52 GMT

Hello,

I wish to provide a chat to my VNC users, but I would need two things in order to implement it:

- The possilibity to change the current nickname based in the machine name to another one based in certain variable or property from the control or VB program.

- The possibility to deactivate the security message at the beggining of the chat window because all of the chat transfers are going to take place in the server itself.

Is there any possiblity to do this two things with the current implementation of ViewerX?

If not, do you consider them for future implementations?

Regards,

Alfredo

View portion of server desktop?

Janine — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 16:38:17 GMT

Hi -

Is there a way to be able to view only a portion of the server's desktop? Support at SmartCode had mentioned in an email to me recently to retrieve a handle of ViewerX screen bitmap via ScreenBitmap property, then to draw a portion of this bitmap on the form where the control object is...? I need just a bit more clarification on this, or any guidance to another way of being able to view a portion of the server's desktop. Is there a way to, perhaps, specifiy a rectangle on the server's desktop via ViewerX, and just view this? I'm thinking along the lines of even setting the control object not to enable screen stretching, and disabling the scroll bars, limiting the user to explore the rest of the server desktop through ViewerX. Is there a way to do this?

Many thanks in advance :)

ViewerX "Full Screen" on HTML

Diversicom — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 10:29:12 GMT

What's the best way to get true "Full Screen" view using ActiveX embedded into an HTML page?

Getting started

tfield98 — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 21:19:15 GMT

We're WebEx customers today. Customers call us and we initiate a WebEx session. WebEx is much more than we need.

We're newbies to the VNC world, so we're not quite sure what we're facing and if your product is right for us.

We want to do a [u]silent [/u]install on the customer's machines so our help desk can access it. We've already determined that runtime args /V/qb!/S to your msi exe seem to work fine for that.

But, then what? Once your component is installed on the customer's machine, our Delphi app can call it. But, can you give us an overview of what would happen? We assume that our support engineers run VNC Manager (or any VNC client?). Your activeX component makes the [u]user's[/u] machine a server, right??

Is your ActiveX component a [i]visual [/i]component? Can our application on the customer's machine call it silently, providing password and client IP and whatever other connection parameters are required?

What's the safest configuration to avoid firewall, proxy, admin rights, etc problems? Can this be configured via calls to your component?

Thanks for your help and any pointers to additional information on the web or your site.

ViewerX and RealBasic

luis perez galvan — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 19:41:10 GMT

We are using RealBasic 5.5.4 and have sucessfully registered the activex component in our system. Since we cannot open the VB example, we have no starting point as to how to start using the viewerx's functions in our application. Can you please provide with the necessary steps and possibly VB code that we can compile in RealBasic so we can use it as guideline?

We want to develop a multi viewer application that can allow us to take control when user clicks the selected thumbnail.

Any ideas?

thanx
luis

VNC ViewerX Demo

jrebeiro — Fri, 20 May 2005 10:04:20 GMT

In the features the Demo says:

UltraVNC NTLM Windows authentication mode support.

When I try to connect to one of my clients using the demo I get an error saying that NTLM is only available in the enterprise version of Smartcode VNC Manager. Does the ActiveX control support NTLM? I would like to add this control to a helpdesk program I am writing but I absolutely need it to connect to UltraVNC NTLM Auth based servers.
