i use IMsTscAx control to connect to the TS Server. setting valid server name and so on i finnaly call connect method. he return s_ok. but exploring other property's values i find that startconnected property is false - thats mean that control is not trying to connect. as a sequel connected property is false too. what do i do wrong?

Unfortunately I cannot give my e-mail address, and I don't use ICQ. First, go and download and install the latest version of the Microsoft RDP Client ActiveX Control. You can find it here[^]. After the control is installed, browse to the directory where you installed it. You can find a 'default.htm' test page there. Open it up on your browser, and you'll get a test page. Use this test page to connect to the TS client like you normally would. If the connection fails, the problem resides in the TS Server, and not in your end. After installing, if you have Windows XP, you'll have two RDP Client controls. The one we just installed is called 'Microsoft RDP Client (redist)'. Use OLE/COM Viewer tool to browse through it's type library. When/If the connection was succesfull, the control is tested and you can use the it anywhere you need. I have created a small example application that connects to a server IP you provide it with, and displays the login screen. The code is commented heavily, and the interesting parts are in the Connect and Disconnect buttons click handlers. Works smoothly for me. The example application is not very usable, as the display area is very small. But it'll show you how it's done. Note that in order to disconnect my application from the TS Server, you must first click outside the RDP Desktop screen, then click on Disconnect button. You can download the source code and the example application from http://www.tpu.fi/~t1akeski/TSClient.zip. It is written with VC++ .Net 2003. As for the problem you described, then an answer is written to MSDN: The control connects asynchronously, so a return from a
Connectcall indicates only that the connection has been initiated successfully, not that it has been completed. You should respond to events on theIMsTscAxEventsinterface to determine when the control has successfully connected (or has been disconnected). -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible. -

do u've any idea on the next: i dont need to interract with desktop, dont wnat to c any passworddialogs and so on. i just need to make a connection, do smth (run program), and ten disconnect. any ideas?
This is not possible in VC++, because the
IMsTscNonScriptableinterface that is required to set the password for automatic logon is not exposed by the Microsoft RDP Client Control. This is a design issue by Microsoft, they made it this way. It is possible in VB .Net, because it doesn't care whether an interface is exposed or not. However, using it also requires some specific settings in-place for the Terminal Server. For more information, read the Knowledge Base -article Q281417 here[^]. Unfortunately I cannot help you any forwards. The easiest way to directly execute a program in a Terminal Services environment is to use the Remote Desktop Connection program and it's templates, which support automatically logging on and executing an application when the TS connection is opened. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible. -

IMsTscNonScriptable interface is exposing. i'd acquaint with msrdp documentation and found the way to do it. bytheway. vc++ is more powerfull than vb, so if it posiible there then it is total-lot possible in vc++ ;) if u r interested mail me. -M4apai Icedis -------------------------------- There are no impossible tasks.

The URL you provided doesn't work now. I'm also trying to make an activeX COM client for RDP connections. Can you please upload the code again & send the URL ? 2.) How can we create the instance pointer of IMsTscAx interface class? code:-
void Connect()
{//*pInterface pointer will be used to call the methods to make rdp connection
IMsTscAx *pInterface;
CLSID clsid = __uuidof(MSTSCLib::MsTscAx);
IID iid = __uuidof(MSTSCLib::IMsTscAx);HRESULT hrInterface=CoCreateInstance(clsid,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,iid,void**)&pInterface);
/* but here pInterface becomes NULL because clsid = __uuidof(MSTSCLib::MsTscAx)is not a valid value but if I use clsid = __uuidof(MSTSCLib::MsRdpClient2) then clsid comes out to a valid value {CLSID_MicrosoftRDP Client Control (redist)} and interface pointer pInterface also gets filled n initialized, but then after setting all the rdp connection parameters, HRESULT hrConnect = pInterface->Connect() doesn't work though hrConnect gives success message. */
pInterface->PutDomain("spider.net");
pInterface->PutServer("192.168.10.195");
HRESULT hrConnect = pInterface->Connect();}
Is there any other way(besides done in my code) to fill this interface pointer *pInterface ?? Please help. Regards, Lokesh

Hi Lokesh, It's been a while since I dealt with this issue. But the URL works just fine. I just tested it. Might've been a hiccup at the Microsoft end, or perhaps you cannot access it for some other reason? But rest assured, the website is there. I can't upload the code. I would be violating Microsoft's ToS. Please visit the web-site in the link. As for your second question, you can't. The IMsTscAx is an interface exposed by the Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. What you need to do is instantiate the RDAC itself, and query it for the IMsTscAx interface. I can't remember the RDAC's CLSID value out of the top of my head, so you'll need to use the OLE/COM Object Browser tool in order to determine it. It might be the CLSID_MsRdpClient2 you discovered) Once you have the CLSID, call CoCreateInstance with it and query for the target interface. If this fails, ask the object for IUnknown first and use the returned pointer to query for the IMsTscAx. All COM objects support IUnknown, so if you have the CLSID correct, you should be able to get it at least. If the IMsTscAx interface query returns a failure through IUnknown::QueryInterface, at least you'll have more details on why and how it fails. As for the reasons why the 'Connect' call refuses to work, I can't say. There are numerous reasons why a Remote Desktop connection may fail, and not all of them are related directly to code. Perhaps the service is disabled? Perhaps access is prohibited? You should first try to connect to the Remote Desktop service by manually using the RDS software (Found in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection). If you can connect manually to the host computer, then try the code-wise approach. Regards, Antti

Hello, Can I refer to your code about the client of MSTSCAX ActiveX Ctrl. In vb, I can do it easily
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
AxMsRdpClient71.Server = "172.16.112.33"
AxMsRdpClient71.UserName = "gui.rs"
AxMsRdpClient71.AdvancedSettings6.ClearTextPassword = "1"
AxMsRdpClient71.Connect()
End Subbut in vc, I cant create a member for activex mstscax.
