Re: Remote Desktop

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The telnet server that comes with the OS will launch programs; it's simply a
network wrapper around the command shell, at least on generic Windows CE (we
have both our own telnet server and Web server on our devices and they both
allow program launch under password control). If you type "runme.exe" to
it, it will try to launch runme.exe on the device.

I don't use the emulator for this stuff. It's not designed to be used as a
reliable testing environment. It's cute. It's convenient for application
development until you get real hardware, but it's not a replacement for real
testing on real hardware.

You'll have to read about the CE Test Kit in the help for Platform
Builder/Windows CE. It's a shell for running automated tests.

Thanks for the reply :)

I am checking to see what avenues are available when trying to orchestrate
this programatically. We do have telnet but not aware of it's ability to
launch apps unless it can remshd as we used to in unix. The web server is
running but doesn't allow app executes. Is there a way to pogramatically
run
the remote display app to perhaps start, connect to a particular emulator
instance and run a test script?

Can you please elaborate about the CE Test Kit and how this might help?

Thanks alot for your help :)

Do you have to have screen control of the device? You might telnet to
it,
if it has a telnet server, might use a Web browser, if its Web server is
set
up to allow programs to be executed, might use the remote display program
to
interact with it, etc. There's no fixed and universal answer... For
that
matter, since you mentioned tests, there's the CE Test Kit, CETK.

Aside from remoting to a device or emulator, any ideas on how to
programatically from the desktop, connect to the device and run certain
apps
or tests?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Hi,

there exists a version of "VNC server" for windows CE on the internet.
I
believe it is freeware.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincevncsvr

the VNC viewer is also available on the internet. There are some
settings
that must be changed in the source of the server to make it work. I
just
played a bit with it and managed to remote control the CE emulator
with
it.
It worked fine, but it was very slow. I added parts of one of the
compression algoritms to it, to make it faster, but that didn't seem
to
help. I will try to test it asap on a real CE platform, to see if the
speed
is acceptable there. If it interests you to give it a try, do not
hesitate
to contact me so I can pass you the details of the changes I had to
make
to
let it work.

regards,

Luc
