This small Visual Basic program set allows workstation screens to be viewed from any other workstation. On All Workstations : SCRGRAB.EXE ----------- Install this program in your Windows directory. In SYSTEM.INI, add the following to the [DDEShares] section. SCRGRAB=SCRGRAB,SCRGRAB,,31,,0,,0,0,0 This workstation is then ready for use. On the 'Supervisor' machine (or any other for that matter) SCRREAD.EXE ----------- This is the executable that streams the information from the workstations. How does it all work ? Ok, SCRGRAB.EXE simply copies the 'desktop-window' into a picture control when asked to by dde-execute. (QUIT = terminate, anything else grabs the screen) SCRREAD.EXE is simply a picture control linked to netdde - "\\workstationname\NDDE$|SCRGRAB" A DDE-execute is called to SCRGRAB to capture the screen. Picture1 is linked to Picture1 in SCRGRAB. A DDE-execute is called to SCRGRAB (QUIT) to terminate. Picture1 in SCRREAD.exe is transferred to an Image control. Simple ! Note: If you find this program useful - you probably will(!) please e-mail me and I'll send you the latest version (possibly with remote-control !)
