Hi,
I installed the msrdp ActiveX object an created a VB6 application. Ok, very
easy! I can connect to the remote server and use it like the normal rdp
client.

However, now I tried to send keys to the remote session. Things like
SendKeys, PostMessage or keybd_event were NOT successful, but there must be a
way, because standard rdp clients can send special key strokes to the remote
session.

How can we do that?

Thanks in advance!

Bernhard

I have found in the doc:
IMsRdpClientNonScriptable::SendKeys

Good luck

Thomas T.

Dear Thomas, I have seen this interface, but this is not visible from the
ActiveX object. The Active X object uses the interfaces RdpClient2 and
RdpClient3 only.

I don't code in VB, so you'll excuse my ignorance, but isn't VB a scripting
language? We only allow keys to be sent manually when being used in a
non-script context; otherwise maliciously designed web pages that forward a
TS connection could do "interesting" things to the user's session. If you
are coding in a non-script context (a binary installed by the user or
whatever), you'll have access to that function, but otherwise it is
off-limits.

Dear Josh,

VB is just a good tool to test ActiveX controls rapidly. I can also use MFC
to access COM objects. However, to connect with MFC to the msrdp.ocx is not
enough, because there is no published interface for Sendkeys.

How can I access the IMsRdpClientNonScriptable::SendKeys function from MFC?
Where is the type library? Which file provide this functions mstscax.dll?

Is there sample code?

The documentation requires a Windows Server 2003 as the server for SendKeys.
Does it work with WinXP as Server?

Thank you
Bernhard
