Remote Control PCs

Introduction

Here are two projects that work together to remote control pc's across the LAN. The projects work under Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 (with proper socket setup).

Project 1, ServerWindow, is a MS VC 6.0 project that is the Server component.
Project 2, ClientWindow, is a MS VC 6.0 project that is the Client component.

There are many goals of the project.

1. To show an implementation of sockets version 2.0 programming.
2. To show how to write an object oriented C++ project using the Win 32 SDK.
3. To show how to mix C/C++ source code.
4. To show how to utilize a powerful component of Windows message handling using Message Crackers, in an object oriented environment.
5. To show how to capture a desktop display in a device dependant bitmap (DDB) format and convert it to a device independant bitmap (DIB) format.
6. To show how to implement two types of data compression schemes, in assembly language, that work well for graphics and are very fast.
7. To combine all these aspects together in a project that allows remote controlling of a remote pc.
