Toggle Remote Input and Remote Blank Monitor it displays eye

[docfxit]

When I Toggle Remote Input and Remote Blank Monitor it displays eye.bmp on the server. The viewer does see the correct server screen. I would like the server to display a blank screen.
Running UltraVNC_1.1.8 viewer on XP Pro sp3 32bit with SecureVNCPlugin.dsm ver. 2.3.0.0
UltraVNC 1.1.8 server on Win7 sp1 64bit with SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm ver. 2.3.0.0



Admin Properties



If I place a black background.bmp in the same directory as winvnc.exe on the server and re-boot the black image does show instead of eye.bmp but the cursor from the viewer also shows as it moves around the screen.

How can I get UltraVNC to display a black screen like it's turned off?

Thank you,

Displaying something on the real screen and hide it on the viewer use the layerd windows ( only works on xp and Vista/win7 without aero).
The mouse sometimes display on both layers...there is nothing we can do.

Why is it that I have one PC that displays the black screen without the background.bmp and without the arrow and another PC running the same version of the software that displays the eye.bmp without the arrow? Or the background.bmp with the arrow if I place it in the directory?

to view bmp:[v] enable alpha-blending monitor blanking
( activate blanking using layers)
without we just put the monitor in sleep mode.

The remote screen blanking works correctly on windows 7, but in my testing on windows 8, it doesn't work.
When the remote screen gets the eye bmp, that's what the viewer also sees.
In all combinations of options, the remote mouse is working.
So the mouse is unaffected and the screen sharing is normal or both see the eye.
I have tested this with w8hook and without and changing the SystemHook dll option.
I am running a 32 bit winvnc
Should this feature work on win8? or is there a reason it cannot?
I'll make code changes if it's possible to make this work...

It doesn't work on win8.

Reason:
"CAPTUREBLT" as bitblt parameter doesn't work.

Google "CAPTUREBLT windows 8" for more info.
