Added features UltraVNC and fixed dual monitor issues.

Post by jonclegg »

UltraVNC team:

I've made some changes to the UltraVNC I hope you find useful. Attached is the patch with the notes. Let me know if you have any questions.

Revision:
SVN: https://ultravnc.svn.sourceforge.net/sv ... c/UltraVNC Project Root/UltraVNC
Revision: 493

Changes:

- Added a "quick connect" mode. used by running -startqc. If the user has admin privileges this installs and runs uvnc as a temporary service. To uninstall and stop the service run with -stopqc

- Desktop unavailable screen. uvnc server will display a bitmap that explains that the desktop is unavailable if a UAC prompt or other screen comes up that it can not display.

bug fixes:
- Fix for left dualmon without driver installed
- forces the termination of uvnc on -uninstall

Build notes:
You'll need to add a link dependency to Netapi32.lib to make it build.

I love your "desktop unavailable" UAC idea, but I am not clear on how the service installation mode is an improvement over the existing functionality?

Sorry I should have clarified. When UltraVNC runs as a service it can handle UAC prompts, switching users, SAS screen etc.. This way they can run it in this mode and not worry about keeping it around as a service.

Right, but the "-service" option is the first one listed at http://www.uvnc.com/install/cmdline.html and there's a similar "-remove" option, so how do your new command line options differ?

It checks if the user is an admin and conditionally installs as a service, otherwise it runs normally. Also it doesn't conflict with the service being installed normally.
