UltraVNC displayed incorrect on windows XP embedded

Post by star521 »

Hi,guys

I came across an error with UltraVNC when running it on a Windows XP Embedded SP2 device.
The "Admin Properties" tab displayed correctly. See the screenshot here.[http://aviary.com/creation?fguid=bf930c ... 30488e168c].
But the "List All Clients" tab wasn't. It's as if the screen area was miscalculated and the painted controls

(labels, textboxes, etc) sizes are completely wrong and some even missing.
Please check out the screenshot:[http://aviary.com/artists/star521/creat ... p_embedded]
The desired one would be[http://aviary.com/artists/star521/creations/succeed_1].

Do you have any idea what issue lies?

After searching the Internet, the most likely problem is missing some related fonts. However, the default fonts

in the target system are Microsoft Sans Serif(micross.ttf) and Tahoma(tahoma.ttf), and it also contains all the

standard windows fonts. Most importantly, other application works just fine on it.

Well, I’m wondering what are the fonts and dll libraries that UltraVNC referenced ?
Can you help me?I tried a lot of methods, but didn’t make sense.

Thanks
Nick…

Oh,Sorry.
It's about UltraVNC server and its version is 1.0.6.5.
The OS version of the testing target is 'Microsoft Windows XP Embedded Version 2002 Service Pack 2'.

Any suggestions or help will be appreciated!

thanks
Nick

Thank you for your reply!

Well, I'm really curious about the reason causing that problem!
After searching the Internet,the missing Fonts or Dll libraries, and codepage settings are
mostly discussed.

If we want to keep using that lower version(1.0.5.6).
Is there exists any solutions?

Thank you for your time!

thanks
Nick

as my knowledge, no
except modify code source for the fix you need.
newer build are made for fix bug and news feature.

what you need is just hotfix named like 1.0.5.6a

Thank you!

When I recompiled a source code of VNC using Visual C++ 6.0.
It displayed correctly on other OS version,except the target device running windows XP embedded.
The definition of the related dialog in the resource file is:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IDD_DIALOG_ABC DIALOGEX 0, 0, 337, 151
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
EXSTYLE WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE(may be "EXSTYLE WS_EX_APPWINDOW" or whatever)
.....
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

But if changed like the following and removed the "EXSTYLE" statement.
The displayed error can be fixed.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IDD_DIALOG_ABC DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 337, 151
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Do you have any idea what issue lies?
May be this windows XP embedded OS missing something or ....
