COM Remote Control Clients

Selected RC COM Interface Definitions

This is the original reason for this page.  I never have a TypeLib browser when I'm away and need it, so I put up the interface defintions in HTML  for most of the remote control clients I use.  These were generated with VBAccelerator's ActiveX Documenter.

WFICA.OCX (Citrix Winframe/Metaframe)

MSRDP.OCX ("Pure" web based Windows Terminal Services/Remote Desktop) This is for the 2524 client, obsoleted by the MS02-047 IE patch which "breaks" it for security reasons.

MSRDP.OCX Build 2600.1095 The post - MS02-047 TS/RD web client.  Similar to 2524; small (but significant!) changes in interfaces.

MSTSCAX.DLL (ActiveX control used by the native Terminal Services/Remote Desktop client)

PAWREM.DLL (Symantec pcAnywhere)

PCIAX.DLL (PCI NetSupport)

AWRem32 TLB This is the interface exposed by pcAnywhere's remote side for automation

VNCX.DLL (Thong Nguyen's VNC ActiveX control) Warning: deprecated control! It is statically linked to a vulnerable zlib implementation and has not to my knowledge been updated.

RDCHOST.DLL I know nothing at all about this; it appears to be part of the new Help & Support tools in Windows XP.  Merely from the names of methods and properties it looks like it has a lot of potential.

Good COM

kvbWinsock - Microsoft's Winsock control is a very handy tool for special purposes.  The problem is, the necessity for licensing puts a crimp in easy use of it.  This is the interface definition summary for Monte Hansen's Killer VB Winsock replacement.

NetCalls_32 - For L.J. Johnson's NetCalls_32 DLL.

Management COM

HFNetChk - For Shavlik Technologies' HFNetChkLT tool.

Interesting COM

MsPaper - Interface Definitions for the Office XP Scanning Tools.  This took a few typelib browser crashes to get.

COM Remote Control Tools in Action

There are a few examples to be found on my Tools page.

Tier6, my integrated front end for pcAnywhere, Windows Terminal Services, Citrix ICA, VNC, and PCI NetSupport, is available from SourceForge.
