custom viewer

[mgirgenti]

First - I am new to the forum, and LOVE the PcHelpware product. I am a developer, but not C++ so pardon some of my ignorance as I am learning.

I have made a custom server and put it out on our site for our clients to run. works great.

Now I need a custom viewer.exe .. specifcially, some prefilled items.

I want our help desk (non techies) to run an executable, and have the window only have 2-3 things. First, and ID code, preferably autogenerated upon openning, a start and a stop button. Thats It. I want to preconfigure the alias, password, repeater settings, etc. and not make them visible.

I know I can do this with a profile, which I have done, however the password obviously isn't kept across machines, and the staff still has the ability to change (read - SCREW UP) the repeter settings, password, etc.

I want to either create a tool to do this, or adjust the source to render a smaller, simplier screen, with the other necessary data pre-filled and re-deploy a new view.exe

Anyone done this? Can you point me in the basic direction. I am willing to trudge through, but don't want to re-invent the wheel.

Thanks!!

p.s. - is there an easy way (or future feature) to not show the password text box if the password is provided on the server.exe?

If you are a developper you could then use the 1SCVDLL.dll and make your own application.

It's quite easy, as the only thing you have to do is calling the Start_viewer method for this DLL, giving your own paramater (repeater URL, port, ID, password....).

You can then just display to the user a single windows that show a generated ID, and 2 buttons : Start, which call the start_viewer method, and Stop, which call the stop_viewer method.

It actually looks like (based on the pchelpware_viewer.cpp file) that a stop is done with Start_viewer("", "",0,0,"",0,0,99,0) and there doesn't seem to be a Stop_viewer export. (I'm currently experimenting using delphi to create just this type of front end.)
