YAY! Big fat wet hugs all round, i've got a workable VNC solution !

*WET HUG*

Thank you, I will play with this when i'm back at work on Monday.

Do you have any recommendations for a listening app on the Mac? The Apple one doesn't seem to respond to the invites this one gives - else i've done it wrong.

I can't find it to download it, the site Beacher links to only seems to have a windows exe download :/

Brilliant! A big fat wet hug is coming your way! :)

I'll check it out tommorow at work. I do have a Mac at home too, but i've come back to find an email from a private client who needs new functionality in something I wrote ages ago... Time to hope I commented my code as I delve into the past I ...

I've checked and the ports used are 3283 & 5900 but both TCP and UDP data is sent, as far as I can tell PureBasic only seems to support TCP, so I think this is the wrong tool for the job.

The problem is with VNC configurations the client would launch the server application and it will sit there on their machine waiting for an inbound communication, lets say for the sake of argument on port 500 (I havn't checked yet what port is used).

If I then try to connect to their machine it ...

Crickey, I just looked up VNC and it's evolved into a whole protocol standard with loads of apps.

Perhaps all I need to write is a port bridging application.

Port/firewall/sharing configuration is necessary to accept inbound communications only, that's why I want to write an application myself rather then use Apple Remote Desktop, but I need to know if Pure Basic can do these things.

I will check out the latest VNC (last I used it was still PC only) but ...

I'm looking to write a remote desktop solution, the reason i'm not using Apple's own tools is because I need to make one that has no configuration for my clients - so I dont need to get them to install software and setup their router and sharing preferences in order to establish a connection. By ...

I'm a great believer in using the tools available and not banking on things which may or may not finaly appear in the form that I desire and expect them to be...

I will check the product out again though, and I might have a play with the PC edition at a later date (I do most of my coding at home on ...

Do any of you find that your text cursor does not always show in the same position that text appears? After highlighting a block of text (which can occur from a failed compile too I think, but seems erratic) the cursor is drawn in one place but is "active" a few characters away. On one ocassion it ...

I've not had much chance to play about with PB yet, but from what I can tell on my machine the IDE is hopelessly unstable on the Mac. It seems to start bailing out the moment I get a failed compile, i'll know more when I try it on my Mac at home and have had more of a play.

It's the price we pay for no malware...

In which case the function folding thing messes up when a procedure is on the 1st line of the editor (I had a few blank lines above 1st function then deleted them and the box dissapeared, appeared, drew wrong, and finaly said "har har, you missed a heartbeat") - not that this should cause issues in ...

Actually the problem still persists in other applications, if your machines hasn't been effected you've technically done what is called "lucking out".

Mostly, I base this on observation and unneducated guess work: The programs which are most likely to fail seem to be those which modify the library ...
