Make screen size fit current tabbed window area
Hi - I am now to Remote Desktop Manager and so far have liked what I see - but am having an issue with screen sizing.
I am trying to display RDP sessions in the tabbed window at the size of the tab.
I have my settings set to Display -> Embedded, Remote Desktop Size -> Current Work Area
When I connect the session - it always opens up larger so there are scrollbars both vertically and horizontally.
I have 2 monitors - one is 1920x1200 (primary) and the secondary is a laptop panel 1920x1080.
Can anyone suggest how to make the tabbed rdp sessions fit so I don't have the scrollbars on the primary monitor?
I need to jump between quite a few sessions so really need the tabbed interface.
I am using version 9.2.10
Cheers
Rod.

Hi,
Leave it to default and click on the Reconnect when you change the screen size. Unfortunately RDP does not support the automatic resolution adjustment.

Hi - I have done that - but I still have scrollbars
I have attached a screen shot so you can see what I mean

Could you post a print screen of your RDP display settings?

This is really strange. You seems to have the good configuration. Do you resize the form after the connection?
David Hervieux
Ok - I think I have found the problem - the two machines that are giving issue have remoteFX adapters - if I connect to a machine that doesn't have remotefx - it works properly
Could you try to disable RemoteFX?

Any thoughts on how to make this work for RemoteFX VM's?
OK - with remoteFX removed from VM it works
So is this a known issue - or is there something I can do to make that work?
Its usable without remotefx so its not a major issue - but would be nice to use the accelerated graphics is possible
It's a configuration in the Hyper-V server:

RemoteFX uses a set of specific resolutions with a maximum.

ah ok - I'll see how I go with a reduced desktop size and see if its usable
Thanks for the prompt assistance
cheers

I'm having the same problem when trying to use a RemoteFX enabled VM. I have heard that the next version (not sure if next update to the hypervisor itself, or next major OS upgrade) will remove the settings pictured by David and will adapt automatically.
