VNCX-
VNC ActiveX Control
|
Introduction
VNCX is an ActiveX control I've written that's can be used to
add VNC client capabilities to any Windows based application that
supports OLE automation. This includes VB, VC++, VJ++, Delphi,
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint) and Internet
Explorer.
I will include examples for each of these Applications sometime.
Documentation
No documentation yet!
Warning: You should be aware that the COM
interface to the ActiveX control is NOT SET yet. It may change
between now and the 'final' release. This means any
applications you write should only be test applications, and not
production, since they will most likley crash if I change the
interface and you update to the new version. I'll make it
clear when the COM interface is set. The interface will change
in reponse to any feedback I get.
License
VNCX is pretty much free. You must however agree to the following terms of use:
-
You can't hold the author (me) liable for anything that may occur because of VNCX.
-
If you plan to make money selling a product that is based on VNCX, you need to ask and get my permission to do so. If you're unsure, email me and ask.
-
Credit to the author (me) should be given in any software that uses VNCX. You should do at least the following things:
Include the following in your program documentation:
- A small explanation of how your software uses VNCX.
- VNCX's homepage (http://tummy.veridicus.com/tummy/programming/vncx)
- The author (me :))
Include the following in your software:
- An easily accessible menu that displays the VNCX about box. This can be done by calling the VNCViewer.AboutBox() method.

of using VNCX from various COM enviroments |
| vncx_ie.htm
vncx_password.htm |
These two HTML files
demonstrate using VNCX (even zooming) from a webpage.
These pages have no 'codebase' set, it presumes you've installed
the VNCX.DLL on your system already. You can view
them online if you've got VNCX installed - and are
prepared to let an unsigned ActiveX control run on your
system! |
