Viewer message in user query not displayed

Post by MSOiD »

Hey,
every VNC version after 1.3.8.1 has a problem with query window not displaying viewer message properly.

When you add custom message as shown in screen below:

It doesn't show up at server query window, all you can see is accept_reject_mesg from ini file and ip adress.

My message is only visible in pop up window in right bottom corner after user accepts connection.

Edit: Problem must be in newer servers, when you try to connect from 1.4.3.1 viewer to 1.3.8.1 server everything works as expected.

The problem was that we broke the compatibility in 1.3.8.1. and needed to change it.

The text can only be send with the initial viewer message.
The server show the query before this message -> empty message

Move the query question after the initial message.
This works, connection is broken when user refuse, only drawback is that the viewer get a general disconnect error after the server refuse the connection.

Changes made 2023-07-29, will be in next update.
