Need help creating custom SC for use with PHW

Post by egil »

Hello there

I just tried out PHW 1.0 and it works just fine with the build in SC. However, I would like to customize the SC client - adding more connections, removing login/password box, like the UltraVNC SC client supports.

I've tried following the guide here http://www.uvnc.com/pchelpware/helpdesk/index.html and managed to create a SC with the online creator (http://www.uvnc.com/pchelpware/creator/index.html), and all the graphics and settings seem to be right (tried creating with both UltraVncSC based on RC23 and
UltraVncSC based on REL1.00 creators)

However, it SC's I've created won't connect to the PHW repeater I've setup. When the PHW repeater is running, the SC's simply terminates after i double click on one of the connections.

Any pointers would be great.

Best regards, Egil.

Do not use creator online for generate PcHelpWare.
Only intentended for old SC.

download
http://www.uvnc.com/pchelpware/download ... _SCgui.zip
Create custom pchelpware_server.exe process is only offline.
you need copy your helpdesk.txt + background.bmp + icon1.ico from your SC and copy them to folder PcHelpWare\create_server\custom
then run PcHelpWare\create_server\create.bat and result is saved \PcHelpWare\create_server\server\PcHelpWare_server.exe

Hi redge, thanks for your help.

A few more questions. UltraVNC SC is able to change icon's when a connection is made, is that supported by PHW SC? I can see there are two icons in the PHW SC custom folder, but it only seems to use the one.

I have tried naming the "connected" icon icon11.ico and icon2.ico, but no luck.

Also, the balloon texts doesn't seem to work as expected. Is it just me or is it a known issue?

Best regards, Egil.
