"View only" mode still allows mouse movement

Hi there,

Love the View only mode!

However, it seems if my automation is moving the mouse and view only mode is enabled, I can't click in the relevant RDP window, however the mouse WILL MOVE with the automation.

So as I move my mouse across the view only mode rdp session and my automation on the rpd session is moving the mouse around, the mouse ON MY LOCAL PC will move with the automation RDP session mouse.

Probably an unusual situation but if the mouse could be made to not move with the view only RDP session mouse that would be great.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
View only mode does not exist in RDP. So to support it I cheated. I've added a transparent panel over the RDP connection. I suspect that your automation tool send the Windows message directly to the RDP handle.

I don't think that I can intercept those messages.

Hmm ok could be. I use TestComplete. It runs on the VM but I have no idea how it might interact with RDP itself. All good. Just might not be possible.
