Show connection infos

Hi,

We currently do not expose the same connection information dialog, and it doesn't seem to be documented for the RDP ActiveX. However, it looks like there might be a way to do what mstsc.exe does with an internal "ShowSessionDiagnostics" property, so we'll see if it's possible to do the same to reuse the existing dialog first, which would avoid the need to reconstruct the dialog from scratch with the same information.

That's great, Thank you.

Hi,

I just tried the same button in mstsc.exe on Windows 11, and I get a very different connection information dialog that doesn't show any valuable information. Did you have to configure anything in particular to get a different dialog? what version of mstsc.exe are you using? I hope Microsoft didn't simply remove the information, because I doubt the details from your screenshot are easy to obtain by other means:

That's strange, I'm also using Windows 11 and I get the same dialog, except that I still have a detail button on the bottom right.

Here ara some more screenshots:


I don't know why here stands Windows 10, I have installed Windows 11. Maybe the reason is, I made an upgrade from Windows 10 to 11. Maybe this is an old mstsc.

Here are the details from my mstsc.exe:

Hello,

The top connection bar is already supported by our embedded control, through this option :



It shows up only when in full screen, which looks to be the case with the mstsc client as well.

Please let us know if this is in fact working for you.

Regards

Cool, that's fine for me. Switch to Fullscreen, get my information and switch back. Great.

Thanks for your help.

PS. I have been using RDM for many years now, and it continues to be absolutely great software. Many thanks for that.
