Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / January 2007Use of wide screens with Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX ont
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? > We use Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX control to access our > terminal [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > 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 ***************************** http://www.schinning.net/Portals/0/Downloads/RDPwebadvanced51xpsp2.zip If that link does not work go to this site and look in the "Clients" section. http://www.schinning.net/FreeTools/tabid/54/Default.aspx Beyond that you might post this question to the microsoft.public.windows.vista.network_sharing or the microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services news groups.

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 [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > > Good luck... > Thanks for the information.
