Re: Use of wide screens with Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX

Thanks very much for your help.
From the technet forums I found an post saying that they have combined the
ActiveX control with the new RDP 6.0 client. So once thatis installed we have
the ActiveX control installed for the web.

Thanks for the information. The main problem is that we request Full
Screen but there appears to be an inbuilt limit of 1600 x1200 and when it
encounters any resolution with 1 of the dimensions larger than those, it
fails to go full screen and stays at the default. So we are looking to
raise
the limit rather than allow a specific resolution.

We use Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX control to access our
terminal
servers.
This is Microsoft RDP client (redist) version 5,2,3790,0

Users have problems on wide screen monitors (greater than 1600 x 1200).

Found that the Windows equivalent of this control, Remote Desktop
Connection
client, has been recently released as new version 6. (see KB925876).
This
enables the system to work properly on wide screen monitors.

However we need to use the ActiveX client rather than the above.

My question is: Has Microsoft released RDP Client control (active X
control)
version 6 that is equivalent to the new Windows version 6 and will thus
solve
our users problems with wide screens?

I don't use the web method at all so I may be steering you wrong, but
have
you tried simply modifying the default.htm file on the host/server
computer
to add the higher resolution? You can download a modified advanced
default.htm file, created by Jeffrey Randow (a former MS-MVP). Here is an
example snippet from the file...

*****************************
case "6"
resWidth = "1600"

resHeight = "1200"

end select

MsRdpClient.DesktopWidth = resWidth

MsRdpClient.DesktopHeight = resHeight

If that link does not work go to this site and look in the "Clients"
section.

Beyond that you might post this question to the
microsoft.public.windows.vista.network_sharing or the
microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services news groups.

Good luck...
