I am making a little monitoring app in vb6 using winsock.
I need help making the server take a screenshot and sent it to the client which will display it in a picturebox, the screenshot is of the desktop. The screenshot is requested from a button on the client.(vb6) :) hope you understand what I mean.
I would be greatful for any help! :)
You're asking for too much help from us, in my personal opinion, and you're also asking for something which may be against the AUP of the forum as it sounds like a function of a trojan to me...not that I am saying it is, just it's a function that remote desktop programs and trojans share.
My advice is learn to walk before you start running with ideas like this, you'll only fall flat on your face if you don't...try to do what you want yourself and when you find a problem or get stuck THEN come to us and ask for help with specific aspects.
Ok fair point, but I have managed to get the connection state of the connection to work, :) and would be very grateful for any ideas in the best way to go about the screenshots Thanx
I googled "VB6 screen capture" and the first link I got was http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/Tip/19172 which sounds like exactly what you're after...however, if you're hoping for some sort of updated screen capture (where the screen data is sent regularly in real-time) it'd require a lot of work to perfect what is and what isn't sent. Most of the problems regarding remote screen capture is the size of the captured data so you'd probably want to compress it before sending.
The second link, http://www.developer.com/lang/other/...-Basic-Way.htm , might also be of interest to you if you want to understand the options a bit better
thanx for the links just having a lookQuote:
