Does anybody know how to display a remote screen (and control it) over a network in a VB app much like netmeeting does. The only thing I've been able to do is send static screengrabs across the network but I'm trying to write a remote demo/control app and it needs to run in real time. Any ideas?
Cheers
how did you send static screengrabs???
razzaj,
How about by using TCP/IP ?
I'm sure Chris wants to have a window on his (local) pc graphically display everything that the remote (networked) pc shows on its screen, and totally control everything you could possibly think of on the remote pc as if you were sitting there, but from the local pc in the window which represents the remote pc.
VirtuallyVB, thanks for the reply. You hit the nail on the head. My current app works via TCP/IP but can only display the remote screen as a series of bitmaps (which update at about 1 every 3 or 4 seconds). How can I make it more like I am actually working on the remote PC?
the question is not fclear ... plz specify what kind of protocol u are using .. amd what are the things u want to controle ..( turn off the ccomputer , log off windows , shut down ap ... ????)
if u can give more details i could be able to provide with some help ...

I was only clarifying your need, I don't know how to do it. I'd love to know. Also, I'd like to know how you do what you currently have.
How do you handle the remote execute stuff?
An idea to minimize the screen-update delay could be to send only "changes in screen data" (after the initial screen dump).
I'm more of an "idea-man". I'm not good at implementing my plans.
