IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings
This interface includes methods to retrieve and set advanced (optional) properties for the Remote Desktop ActiveX control. This interface was added for Microsoft Windows XP.
IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings derives from the IMsTscAdvancedSettings interface. It includes all the IMsTscAdvancedSettings methods and provides access to additional properties.
For an alphabetic list of the properties, see IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings Properties.
For a description of each property, information about its syntax, and a functional grouping of the properties, see IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings Property Descriptions.
Methods
The IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings interface contains the following methods.
- IUnknown methods
- IDispatch methods
- IMsTscAdvancedSettings methods
- IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings methods
The following table shows the methods for the IMSRdpClientAdvancedSettings interface.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| put_SmoothScroll get_SmoothScroll |
Sets or retrieves the SmoothScroll property value, which specifies whether the Remote Desktop window should scroll smoothly when scroll bars are used. The default is a nonzero value, which enables smooth scrolling and increases the scrolling response on slower computers. The property has no effect on scrolling in the actual remote session. |
| put_AcceleratorPassthrough get_AcceleratorPassthrough |
Sets or retrieves the AcceleratorPassthrough property value, which specifies whether keyboard accelerators should be passed to the server. The default is a nonzero value, which enables accelerators. |
| put_ShadowBitmap get_ShadowBitmap |

| put_TransportType get_TransportType |
Reserved. |
| put_SasSequence get_SasSequence |
Reserved. |
| put_EncryptionEnabled get_EncryptionEnabled |
Reserved. You cannot disable encryption. |
| put_DedicatedTerminal get_DedicatedTerminal |
Sets or retrieves the DedicatedTerminal property value, which specifies whether the client should run in dedicated-terminal mode. Setting this property to a nonzero value indicates the client should run in dedicated-terminal mode. This property is intended primarily for use by Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET–based devices to specify screen-painting characteristics. |
| put_RDPPort get_RDPPort |
Sets or retrieves the RDPPort property value, which specifies the connection port. The default value is 3389. |

Sets or retrieves the MaximizeShell property value, which specifies whether programs launched with the StartProgram property should be maximized. The default is a nonzero value, which maximizes programs. |
| put_HotKeyFullScreen get_HotKeyFullScreen |
Sets or retrieves the HotKeyFullScreen property value, which is the virtual-key code to add to CTRL+ALT to determine the hotkey replacement for switching to full-screen mode. VK_CANCEL is the default value. For a table that lists the names of the symbolic constants, hexadecimal values, and mouse or keyboard equivalents for the virtual-key codes used by the system, see Virtual-Key Codes. |
| put_HotKeyCtrlEsc get_HotKeyCtrlEsc |
Sets or retrieves the HotKeyCtrlEsc property value, which is the virtual-key code to add to CTRL+ALT to determine the hotkey replacement for CTRL+ESC. VK_HOME is the default value. This property is valid only when the KeyboardHookMode property is not enabled. |
| put_HotKeyAltEsc get_HotKeyAltEsc |
Sets or retrieves the HotKeyAltEsc property value, which is the virtual-key code to add to CTRL+ALT to determine the hotkey replacement for ALT+ESC. VK_INSERT is the default value. This property is valid only when the KeyboardHookMode property is not enabled. |
| put_HotKeyAltTab get_HotKeyAltTab |
Sets or retrieves the HotKeyAltTab property value, which is the virtual-key code to add to CTRL+ALT to determine the hotkey replacement for ALT+TAB. VK_PRIOR is the default value. This property is valid only when the KeyboardHookMode property is not enabled. |
| put_HotKeyAltShiftTab get_HotKeyAltShiftTab |
Sets or retrieves the HotKeyAltShiftTab property value, which is the virtual-key code to add to CTRL+ALT to determine the hotkey replacement for ALT+SHIFT+TAB. VK_NEXT is the default value. This property is valid only when the KeyboardHookMode property is not enabled. |
| put_HotKeyAltSpace get_HotKeyAltSpace |
Sets or retrieves the HotKeyAltSpace property value, which is the virtual-key code to add to CTRL+ALT to determine the hotkey replacement for ALT+SPACE. VK_DELETE is the default value. This property is valid only when the KeyboardHookMode property is not enabled. |

| put_SingleConnectionTimeout get_SingleConnectionTimeout |
Sets or retrieves the SingleConnectionTimeout property value, which specifies the maximum length of time, in seconds, the client control waits for a connection to an IP address. (During connection the control may attempt to connect to multiple IP addresses.) A related property is OverallConnectionTimeout, which specifies the maximum time for all attempts. |

If the specified time elapses, the control calls IMsTscAxEvents::OnIdleTimeoutNotification. The default value is zero, which disables the feature. You can use this property in a situation where you need to disconnect an idle session, such as a kiosk environment. |
| put_SmartSizing get_SmartSizing |

| put_PinConnectionBar get_PinConnectionBar |
Sets or retrieves the PinConnectionBar property value, which specifies the state of the UI connection bar. Setting this property to VARIANT_TRUE sets the state to "lowered", that is, invisible to the user and unavailable for input. VARIANT_FALSE sets the state to "raised" and available for user input. |
| put_GrabFocusOnConnect get_GrabFocusOnConnect |
Sets or retrieves the GrabFocusOnConnect property value, which specifies whether the client control should have the focus while connecting.
