Creating a Remote Desktop Plugin Using Delphi - Part 2
Thursday, November 29th, 2012In part 1 of this series I set about creating a remote desktop plugin using Delphi. It didn’t do anything except initialize itself and display a few message boxes indicating its progress. Not very useful.
In order for this whole thing to work the way I want it to, the plugin is going to have to interact with the user on the remote workstation. This means displaying a form that will have to be on top of the remote desktop window. I had some vague misgivings that remote desktop in full screen mode would be an “always on top” window that would interfere with the interaction that I need. So, as the next step in the process, I changed the plugin to create a form, make it an “always on top” window and display my status messages in a TMemo contained in the form. Surprisingly enough this actually works quite well.
