Show the another PC throgh of a Host PC

[hugosantos]

Hi, I make a project to conclusion my master degree,

I stay in finaly step, which I want show and control the another PC with program is run, through a Host-PC throgh WI-FI network connection, without internet connetcion. 

I post this question, I thank for your opinion and reply

In attached send a little scheme

Like Microsoft's Remote Desktop?

[hugosantos]

Yes, something like this.

[Ray.R]

Do you want to implement the solution using LabVIEW or are you looking for a software like MS Remote Desktop or TeamViewer or VNC?  In other words, are you trying to write such a software using LabVIEW?

[hugosantos]

Yes.

[Ray.R]

Strangely enough, I was thinking of doing that myself, so I'll be interested in seeing how this evolves.

I don't think it will be purely LabVIEW, but I am hoping that I am wrong.

I'll search to see if anyone else has tried to attempt this.

Just to make sure I fully understood, you want to be able to control the remote PC, see what is on the screen and execute programs, etc.  Not to control a VI as in the remote panel.  (also posting this so that others reading this thread do not confuse it with the common practice of setting up a remote panel..)

[hugosantos]

Yes I want that, but not solution, what can I do to have a similar solution?

Hello hugosantos and Ray.R,

Why can't you use already (well) working solutions?

Compeletely control a PC remotely might be possible but you'll have to find how. Maybe by using dll from system32 or .NET functions it will be possible, but you'll have to find the documentation.

Anyway, that's a big amount of work so if you can use other softwares that have already done the work for you, that will be easyer.

For already implemented solutions in LabVIEW (not for controling a whole PC):

- Remote Front Panel that use a Web Navigator

- Web services if you don't need User Interface (which you can create thanks to LabVIEW Web UI builder)

- You can also control a VI opened with LabVIEW on a remote PC: In the "Operate" menu, select "Connect to a Remote Panel..." (that can also be done thanks to invoke nodes with VI server).

Regards,

[P@Anand]

You can try to invoke the already defined solution like Symantec PC Anywhere to control the other Host PC entirely.

Merci Mathieu,

I don't know about Hugo, but my reason for doing this is partly a learning experience.  As in "what else can I do using LabVIEW".

There are also pluses to doing such a project, but we won't get into that.
