Problems after Windows update

[Heider]

Hi all,

I have some Problems with the current uvnc version (1.1.9.3) after the Windows update this week. I'm running uvnc-server on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP 1 and the viewer under Windows 7 SP 1.

Issue 1: Without any setting changes, the viewer seems to call the backspace key infinitely so I'm unable to write any text because it is nearly instantly deleted. I can bypass this problem by clicking the “Toggle the Remote Input and Remote Blank Monitor (On/Off)”-Button in the viewer. After that, I still can use Mouse and Keyboard but the text I write is not deleted any more.

Issue 2: I use Visual Studio 2010 to program on the remote desktop. Although I activated to capture alpha blending, the menus are not polled to the screen. Curiously, in other programs this works. May be related to this problem is that in “Qt Designer” from the current Qt Library I'm also unable to use the Widgetbox, which is used to Drag & Drop GUI Elements into a created panel or widget. Maybe both programs use some special type of alpha blending which is not captured by unvc, I hope this is fixed in future versions of unvc.

Thanks in advance for looking into my Problems.

Regards,
Mario

You should direct your complaints to VS2010 for using - clearly - non-standard display API calls. uVNC will happily capture anything using the documented and approved screen calls.


You might be able to get it working with a different combination of settings, like:
- screen driver on, Syshook off,
- screen driver on, syshook on
- screen driver on, syshook off, turbo on
- screen driver on, syshook off, turbo off

and so on until you have tried all the possible combinations. And reboot between each test.

I have also seen it where toggling between active windows gets the missing one to appear. Worse, I have seen it where dragging a small dialog around the screen acts like a painter - the missing window appears everyplace I drag over.
